Research Computing has launched seed grants that fund informatic analysis of pilot data for future grant proposals. Seed grants fill a critical niche of funding for early-stage projects for which no other funding sources are available, and which require analysis support by Research Computing staff. Seed grants must:
- Use at least 50% of the budget for analysis by Research Computing Informatics staff
- Clearly outline how this analysis will provide a pathway to future funding, e.g. as preliminary data for specific, planned grant proposals
Funding Limit: $10,000
Proposal Components:
Applications should include the following components:
- Title of the Project
- Principal Investigator(s) and Collaborator(s) Information
- Project Proposal (maximum 1 page, 11 point font)
- Background and significance
- Project objectives
- Experimental design, data and proposed analysis
- Expected outcomes and how these analyses will be used in planned grant proposal(s)
- A 1-page budget, with a clear justification outlining anticipated expenses.
Proposals are reviewed on a rolling basis. (Response within 3-4 weeks.) RC Informatics Seed grants are limited to Regular (Tenured and Tenure-Track) Faculty and availability of funding.
Please submit your proposal to [email protected], addressed to Jim Wilgenbusch, Director of Research Computing.
