Collaborative 研究 Grant Opportunities

能力’s 木星 Life Science Initiative and the Institute for Human Health and Disease Intervention (I-Health) announces the inaugural call for collaborative research grants. The funding is designed to support collaborations between 木星-based faculty and partners, Max Planck Florida Institute (MPFI) and The Herbert Wertheim UF Scripps Institute for Biomedical 创新 & Technology (UF-Scripps), which will result in original and innovative research in the field of life science.

Applications should fit the following categories:

  • New research collaborations with MPFI和UF-Scripps
  • Bridge funding to support collection of critical data needed to improve competitiveness of grant applications to federal agencies
  • Novel research projects by junior faculty

Notes: Proposals must be submitted by an 能力 principal investigator (PI) or faculty member. Postdoctoral fellows are ineligible for this funding opportunity.

The long-term goal of these pilot awards is to provide the initial funding needed to generate critical preliminary data required for larger federal grant submissions. Basic science and translational investigation proposals are both welcome. Funding for up to five proposals is anticipated, and budget requests should be limited to $30,000 over a one-year period. Only one application per applicant accepted.

截止时间:5分.m. 10月星期五. 27, 2023.

  3. If the application is collaborative in nature, list all participating research team members with organization/department affiliations. Include an abbreviated CV for each PI (two pages maximum).
  4. Brief facilities document identifying where the work will be conducted and identifying all essential resources required to complete the project.
  5. 特定的目标
  6. Background and significance
  7. 研究 approach and experimental design (references excluded from page count)
  8. 未来的发展方向

Proposals will be reviewed by research faculty at 能力, MPFI和UF-Scripps, all of whom have not submitted applications themselves. The applications will be reviewed with the following considerations:

  1. 可行性
  2. 创新
  3. Likelihood of facilitating future funding/future collaboration
  4. 科学价值

Proposals that involve the use of vertebrate animals or human subjects will require evidence of an approved Institutional Animal Care and Use Committee or Institutional Review Board protocol, respectively, prior to transfer of funds. Brief progress reports will be requested at six months and 12 months post-funding.

For all questions and to ensure there are no unnecessary delays in the proposal review process, submit application packets to 木星SEED2023@gzmaojs.com 五点以前.m. 10月星期五. 27, 2023.
