Purpose of this RFA: To solicit pilot grant funding for innovative research.
Research objectives: Pilot grants are intended to lead to an R01 or equivalent grant and/or to commercialization of an innovative technology. These grants may NOT be used as bridge funding or to extend an existing grant. These pilot grants seek to foster collaborative, novel and creative research in the DOM. Investigators are encouraged to explore new and currently unfunded avenues of research with the goal of acquiring sufficient new information to successfully apply for extramural grant support within one year. This includes basic, translational, clinical, and educational projects that serve as the basis for an RO1 or equivalent submission.
Eligibility: Applicants must have a primary, full-time faculty appointment in the DOM. The project may be based at BUMC, Boston VA, or Bedford VA.
Funding available: Direct costs up to $15,000 may be requested. The level of funding awarded to successful applicants, and the source(s) of funding, will be determined after review of the budget request and budget justification. More info
