Letters of intent are due Sept. 16 for two funding opportunities open to investigators from all University of Nebraska campuses and other institutions from the Great Plains IDeA-CTR Network.
The network will provide Team Research Pilot Grants of up to $75,000 in direct costs for existing clinical and translational research teams or projects that address public health research. Single investigators are not eligible for this funding; instead there must be evidence of a team-based approach inviting two or more principal investigators from different disciplines.
The Great Plains IDeA-CTR Network also is seeking letters of intent for its Tech Transfer Pilot Grant, which will offer up to $50,000 in direct costs for a one-year project focused on translation of intellectual property into clinical or community applications.
Letters of intent for both programs are due by 5 p.m. Sept. 16. Those invited to submit full applications will be notified by Sept. 21, with solicited applications due Nov. 18.
The Great Plains IDeA-CTR is a collaboration of eight institutions eligible for funding: Boys Town National Research Hospital, Children’s Hospital and Medical Center, Creighton University, Omaha VA Medical Center, University of Nebraska Kearney, University of Nebraska-Lincoln, University of Nebraska Medical Center and University of Nebraska Omaha.
For more information about UNL’s involvement in the network, contact David Hansen, professor of psychology.
