Grant Opportunities
The University of Michigan Cardiovascular Center is seeking applications for the CVC Research Award Competition. The deadline for receipt of completed applications for this year has been extended until February 29, 2008. Please don’t miss this opportunity. There are three separate awards available this year:
- McKay Grant Competition: Five to eight grants have generally been awarded per year ranging from $5,000 to $25,000. This competition is intended to assist new cardiovascular investigators, within any UM discipline related to cardiovascular disease, to initiate projects that will lead to extramural funding. The PI must have a primary faculty appointment within UM. Please note: those who applied for the McKay Grant in the past and who were not funded or only partially funded are urged to reapply. If you fall into this category you are eligible to submit a maximum one page cover letter responding to previous critiques as part of your resubmission application.
- Barr Discovery Grant Competition: New this year! This competition is intended to award proposals that study Neurological Complications stemming from Cardiovascular Disease.
- Gelman Innovation/Innovator Grant Competition: This competition is intended to award innovative approaches to or innovators in general cardiovascular science.
Please share this information with your colleagues throughout the University.
