CALL FOR APPLICATIONS

SIU System Collaborative Grants

Due Date: Friday, August 28, 2020, 4 p.m.

The goal of the SIU System Collaboration Grant program is to promote new biomedical research collaborations between faculty within SIU School of Medicine, SIU Edwardsville, and SIU Carbondale. To qualify as a new team (co-PIs), faculty may not have previously published together as co-authors or worked together previously on internal or external grants or grant submissions. Faculty from at least two campuses must be represented on the team. Each faculty member must have a well-defined and meaningful role on the project. It is expected that one proposal will be funded. Total available funding will be $20,000 if two campuses are represented and $30,000 if all three campuses are represented.

A budget for each represented campus up to $10,000 must be submitted. The budgets need not be identical but must be tailored to the amount and type of work to be performed on each campus.

All applications must be submitted as a single pdf file to the office of the Associate Dean of Research at SIUSM (kkatcher@siumed.edu). Application forms are available at https://www.siumed.edu/adr/forms/siu-system-collaborative-grant.html, but documents can be emailed upon request from Kristi Katcher (kkatcher@siumed.edu). Applications will be reviewed by a committee comprised of faculty members of the SOM, Edwardsville and Carbondale campuses.

Applications are due on Friday, August 28, 2020 at the SOM ADR Office no later than 4:00 p.m. In fairness to all, late applications will not be accepted.
