Intramural Research Awards

FACULTY AWARDS

Laurence B. Emmons Research Grants

The purpose of the award is to assist doctorally prepared faculty to complete pilot work necessary for successfully competing for a major extramurally funded research project.  The rationale is that NIH is expecting more extensive pilot data to support applications.  The extramural proposal should be ready for submission within 12-18 months. 

The funding level is restricted to a maximum of $20,000.

Vice President for Research - Faculty Seed Grants

The grants are intended to provide short-term, one-time support that will "jump start" worthwhile projects and result in data or work products that can be used in developing major proposals for submission to extramural funding agencies or private contributors. Individuals holding faculty rank, who have an appointment in the research scientist series of titles, or who have a continuing or continuing-eligible status are eligible to apply; however, the Faculty Seed Grants Program gives highest priority to junior-level individuals in those categories.   

The funding level is restricted to a maximum of $10,000.
