Biomedical Research Grant

Biomedical Research Grant

The objective of the Biomedical Research Grant Program is to foster scholarly and creative research by worthy investigators so that they can compete successfully for extramural research support. Targeted projects are: 1) research projects of investigators new to Indiana University School of Medicine who do not yet have extramural funding and who need support to acquire the preliminary data necessary to compete for extramural funding; 2) research projects of established investigators of Indiana University School of Medicine who are between funding periods from extramural sources. Awards are up to $50,000 and be limited to one (1) year duration.

RFA:  Opens in January, May and September $$ / IUSM

Center for Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases (CDMD) Pilot & Feasibility Funding

Center for Diabetes and Metabolic Diseases (CDMD) Pilot & Feasibility Funding

A primary research-related activity of the CDMD's P&F program is to foster the development of new diabetes-related investigators and provide seed-support for innovative, high-risk projects. The program is particularly directed at new investigators and established investigators new to diabetes-related research. The program also considers established diabetes investigators pursuing high impact/high risk projects or projects that are a significant departure from their usual work. Work supported by these funds is expected to lead to submissions of major extramural grants. Awards are up to $45,000 and are limited to one (1) year duration
