Are you interested in positioning your interdisciplinary research team to be competitive for an external large-scale grant (e.g., NIH U- and P-series mechanisms)? Do you need funds to pursue final data collection/analysis, to publish with your collaborators, or to support resources for grant development? If so, you’re encouraged to apply for $100,000 in funding and tailored research support available through the Accelerating Synergy Award.
Hosted by MICHR, in partnership with the Medical School Office of Research, we are pleased to offer two award mechanisms: 1) Basic Research and 2) Translational Research. Awardees will receive up to $100,000 to tackle significant and complex research questions. This funding, coupled with tailored MICHR support, will provide the foundation for future large-scale grant submissions. Details are available here.
Applications for this award are open to faculty from all schools and colleges at the University of Michigan, with mechanism-specific requirements noted in the guidelines.
Pre-applications are due Wednesday, August 18, 2021 through UMMS Competition Space.
Information about other MICHR funding opportunities is available here.
