Purpose/program overview
The goal of the SIU System Collaborative Grant program is to promote new biomedical research collaborations and foster receipt of extramural funding for research projects between faculty at the various SIU campuses, including the School of Medicine, Edwardsville, and Carbondale. Thus, projects considered for funding should represent pilot studies for obtaining preliminary data for larger collaborative projects to be submitted for external funding.
Definition of research
Research is broadly defined as all creative, critical, scholarly, and/or empirical activity that expands, clarifies, reorganizes, or develops knowledge or artistic perception. This definition of research includes the demonstration, implementation, application, and dissemination of research results and those grants designated as research by the granting agency. This definition of research does not include departmental curriculum development, faculty development (learning an established technique, a language, or a methodology; dissertation research), institutional research (studies related directly to the operation of the University), and public service and consulting activities.
Eligibility
- To qualify as a new team (Co-PIs), faculty may not have previously published together as co-authors or worked together previously on an internal or external grants submission.
- Faculty from at least two campuses must be represented on the team, but applications from all three campuses are also eligible. Each faculty member must have a well-defined and significant role on the project.
- Previous SIU System Collaborative Grant recipients must have submitted an external funding proposal related to their work on the grant. Recipients who have failed to meet this condition are ineligible for this grant program until this requirement is met.
Award description
Total available funding is $20,000, if two campuses are represented, and $30,000, if three campuses are represented. Award period is expected to run for 12 months during the calendar year immediately following the award decision.
