MAP Collaboration Seed Grant: 2018-2019 Application
The goal of this program is to support collection of pilot data to stimulate and develop new collaborative research projects. We will award a total of two one-year grants of $25,000 each. We welcome both basic and translational science research proposals.
To apply, please send the following to Trevor Baer ([email protected]):
(1) Application Form.
(2) Biosketches for PIs and other Key Personnel. Multiple PI projects are strongly encouraged for this funding opportunity.
(3) Project Proposal including: Specific Aims, Background, Proposed Activities/Experiments, Project Timetable, and Appropriateness for Seed Funding [i.e., description of how the project is interdisciplinary, bridges across particular areas of research, or would stimulate a collaboration that would not otherwise be possible]. Total Project Proposal Length should not exceed 3 pages with NIH text format restrictions (References not included in word count). Proposals should be written so that the project's significance and innovation are evident to nonspecialist scientists.
(4) Extramural Funding Plan: Describe specific targets for grant funding to sustain the project, and summarize how the seed grant can increase likelihood of success.
Proposals should be written so that the project's significance and innovation are evident to nonspecialist scientists.
Proposals will be evaluated by a faculty review committee with expertise spanning areas of MAP research. Review criteria will include:
-Significance for understanding learning and memory at the cognitive, systems, or cellular level (or in the case of translational grants, significance for understanding memory disorders).
-Significance and Scientific Merit
-Competitiveness for Extramural Funding
Preference will be given to collaborative projects involving faculty from different disciplines, different areas of expertise and/or at different departments (though proposals from any UC Davis PI will be considered).
