Funding

The goal of this funding mechanism is to jump start new transdisciplinary research that is collaborative in nature by enabling investigators to gather preliminary data in support of external funding applications.  This mechanism is available to all faculty formally affiliated with the Chemistry of Life Processes Institute. Awards (up to $50,000 for new team science) are made annually with applications solicited in early fall.

Voucher (tier 1: $2,500) and Pilot (tier 2: $20,000) awards are designed to accelerate research by providing rapid, targeted funding to address small but critical gaps in clinical and translational research work.  Vouchers are awarded on a rolling basis, and pilots are 1-2 times per year.

The Dixon Translational Research Grants initiative seeks proposals for highly innovative, multi-disciplinary clinical and translational research collaborations to accelerate the identification and implementation of new treatments that will improve human health.

The H Foundation Stimulus Award is restricted to  members of the LCC basic sciences research program and is designed to assist faculty in procurement of NCI-funded R01 grants. The applicant must have submitted a first-in-career R01 application to the NCI that was scored, but not funded, OR received a score near the payline on a competitive renewal application

The Bridge Funding Support program provides interim funding to continue federally funded research projects that have a demonstrated likelihood of continued federal funding pending resubmission of a grant proposal. Requires matching funds from PI’s department/school.

The CFaD Pilot Grant program is an internal, peer-reviewed grant opportunity that supports developing methods or techniques within cores that directly impacts multiple principal investigators and are likely to lead to increased usage of cores in the future. Funds can be used to purchase consumables, services, staff and instrument time in one or more core facilities. Maximum awards are $15,000 and should be completed within 6 months of award notification.
