MICHR to tackle goal of diversifying and improving research to speed therapies for benefit of all patients
A new groundbreaking study from the University of Michigan’s Center for Drug Repurposing (CDR) reveals several drug contenders already in use for other purposes—including one dietary supplement—that have been shown to block or reduce SARS-CoV-2 infection in cells.
The study, published recently in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, uses artificial intelligence-powered image analysis of human cell lines during infection with the novel coronavirus.
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)? If so, you’re encouraged to apply for $100,000 in funding and tailored research support available through the Accelerating Synergy Award.
In an effort to make access to experimental agents easier and more efficient, Transforming Expanded Access to Maximize Support and Study (TEAMSS) has published new recommended guidelines, templates, and resources for physicians and institutions seeking Expanded Access for their patients.
Are you a community partner who recently completed a project in collaboration with an academic researcher?
Are you an academic researcher who recently completed a study in collaboration with a community partner?
If so, we invite you to apply for the Michigan Institute for Clinical and Health Research (MICHR) Promoting Academics and Community Engagement (PACE) dissemination grant. The goal of PACE dissemination grants is to share Community-Engaged Research(CEnR) results back to the community.
Are you a community partner who recently completed a project in collaboration with an academic researcher? Are you an academic researcher who recently completed a study in collaboration with a community partner? If so, MICHR’s Community Engagement (CE) Program invites you to apply for the new Promoting Academics and Community Engagement (PACE) dissemination grant. This grant supports community-academic partnerships that are ready to share Community-Engaged Research (CEnR) results back to the community.
Do you need to obtain preliminary data that will strengthen an extramural grant application and help you establish your long-term research goals? To support faculty along their career trajectories, the Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research (MICHR) is offering two funding mechanisms – Pathway to First Grant and Pathway to Independence.
Are you looking to develop novel statistical methodology? Does this work have high potential for advancing clinical and translational research? If so, you are encouraged to apply for the Promoting Progress in Statistics (ProPS) award.

The Catalyst Award is open to early career faculty from all campuses, schools, and colleges at U-M, as well as partners affiliated with community and patient coalitions and groups, nonprofit organizations, government, and other agencies outside U-M. Applications are encouraged for projects at all stages of translation (T1-T4) that use one of the following approaches to research: investigator-initiated or community-based participatory.
Are you preparing a career development grant application (such as NIH K or VA CDA) for submission in 2021? Join the MICHR K Writing Workshop program for valuable peer critiques and feedback from senior faculty who are experienced in NIH study section thinking. During this introductory three-part workshop, participants will exchange drafts of their proposals, so please be prepared to share your own proposal draft during the course of the workshop.
Are you writing a career development or R01 grant? Register now for this mock study section, which will help you understand how NIH grant reviewers think. As one of eight reviewers, you will discuss actual twelve-page K and R grants (already submitted in some version to the NIH). You will learn what happens behind the closed doors in a real K or R grant review.

Applications are now being accepted for the two-year MICHR-K Award. The award provides protected time for a clinician scientist to focus on conducting clinical research. Early career faculty with an MD or clinical PhD who are interested in obtaining mentored training in translational sciences are encouraged to apply.
MICHR has funded 17 teams through the Mcubed Diamond Program, awarding nearly $500,000 to support innovative research across multiple stages of translation, including preclinical and clinical research, clinical implementation, and health outcome studies.
Are you interested in positioning your interdisciplinary research team to be competitive for an external multi-component NIH large-scale grant (i.e., 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 are encouraged to apply for the Accelerating Synergy Award through the Michigan Institute for Clinical & Health Research (MICHR).
Interdisciplinary research teams who seek to answer compelling questions in the area of translational research can pitch their ideas through the MCubed Diamond Program. MICHR will fully fund a variety of classic cubes ($60K) and mini cubes ($15K). In the absence of traditional funding agency peer review, awarded teams will be able to pursue their innovative ideas and collaborative efforts quickly. Pitches will be accepted through May 15, 2019.
To support faculty along their career trajectories, MICHR is offering two new funding mechanisms intended to support investigators who need to collect additional data to competitively pursue their first extramural grants (such as NIH K or R21) or larger independent grants (such as NIH R01 or similar).
