What are the Faculty Innovation Fund awards?
These awards are for up to $50,000, and generally two to four applications are awarded annually. Project budgets can range from $25,000 to $50,000. Please only apply for the amount your project needs – recognizing our goal to support the best projects while funding as many investigators as possible and that we can fund two $25k awards compared to one for $50k. Pilot, formative and development studies that can be leveraged into competitive grant applications are the focus of these awards. Applications for collaborative projects are permitted if both PIs fulfill eligibility criteria. Awards can be used to purchase equipment or supplies, pay student or staff salaries, and support other research needs. Salary support is permitted for up to 10% effort for staff, students, and faculty. Salary support cannot be used for senior faculty.
Awards Awards are for one year of support. Individuals can receive only one Faculty Innovation Fund award per career. Applicants for a Faculty Innovation Fund award cannot receive overlapping funding from other internal awards focused on similar projects (e.g., Center for Global Health, Bloomberg American Health Initiative).
All All areas of scientific inquiry are eligible for this award. However, two sources of funding are specific to cancer research; please specify if you would like your application to be considered for either of these:
