Center for Nursing Research Now Accepting Applications for 2019 Pilot Funding Program
The goal of the Center for Nursing Research Pilot Funding Program is to promote scientific inquiry that positions investigators to be competitive for extramural research funding.
Deadline for Intent to Submit: October 28, 2019
Proposals Due: December 6, 2019
The Center for Nursing Research Pilot Funding Program encourages researchers to explore novel, current and innovative ideas that address DUSON Research Areas of Excellence - data science, health innovation, population health and precision health.
The program is open to DUSON faculty members interested in coducting pilot and/or feasibility studies that will lead to a NIH R-level or equivalent grant submission. Pilot studies may include the collection of preliminary data, analysis of secondary data, or piloting new technology. Each pilot award is up to $20K for a one-year period. A progress report and grant development consultation is required at 6 and 12 months. Proposals for external follow-on funding should be submitted within a year of completion.
We strongly encourage faculty members to submit proposals that either create new partnerships or leverage existing teams of researchers. Priority may be given to proposals that include meaningful collaborations with Medicine (i.e., Population Health Sciences, Pulmonology), Pratt School of Engineering, Data Science, Computer Science, Nicholas School of the Environment, Margolis Center for Health Policy, or community partners, among others.
