Announcement
SPH SEED FUNDING PROGRAM 2008-2009 (Winter 2008)
The School of Public Health (SPH) is pleased to announce a pilot project program making seed funding for new research initiatives available to faculty.* Applications are expected to generate pilot data to support external grant applications. Priority will be given to projects consistent with strategic initiatives of SPH, those proposed by junior faculty, projects that are mentored by senior-level faculty or those with investigators from more than one division. Senior faculty are eligible to submit proposed projects that reflect a change in research direction requiring preliminary work to become competitive for national funding.
Budget requests may include support for data collection, data analysis or other justified items (inclusive of enhancing laboratory science capacity) as necessary to strengthen an important area for the research enterprise. Funds cannot be used to support the salary of any investigator or conference travel. Matching funds or tangible support from relevant Division(s) is encouraged.
This academic year (2008-09) we anticipate funding 2-3 grants at a maximum of $10,000 each for a total of $30,000. There will be two competitions in 2008-09 with deadlines of December 17th, 2008 and March 15th, 2009.
Brief applications following a modified NIH format will be reviewed by the SPH Research Advisory Board. Download applications, instructions and strategic initiatives from http://www.uic.edu/sph/research.htm and http://www.uic.edu/sph/downloads/
summary_strategic plan.pdf. Successful awardees will be required to submit a subsequent grant proposal through SPH. A grant proposal will be accepted in lieu of a progress report within 12 months.
*Adjunct faculty and department affiliates are not eligible.
