Grand Challenges Research Scholar Collaborative: The second phase of the Provost's Grand Challenges

Grand Challenges Research Scholar Collaborative: The second phase of the Provost's Grand Challenges Research Initiative will include both a competitive call for proposals from interdisciplinary teams (pre-proposals due March 20) and opportunities for extended interdisciplinary engagement through participation in a collaborative of Grand Challenges Research Scholars (nominations due March 1). Awards will focus on two spotlighted Grand Challenges areas: 1) Assuring Clean Water and Sustainable Ecosystems and 2) Fostering Just and Equitable Communities-or an integration of the two. Please review the detailed guidelines for the Phase 2 Grand Challenges Research Initiatives and consider collaborating with colleagues across disciplines. 

MN Futures Grant Program

MN Futures Grant Program: OVPR is requesting applications. LOIs are due on February 20th 2017. Full proposals are accepted starting on February 21. The program is designed to promote in-depth work to enable faculty members to respond collaboratively and boldly to emerging opportunities in interdisciplinary research and scholarship. This call seeks interdisciplinary research and scholarship proposals that originate from new interdisciplinary groups. Proposals may be for up to two years for a maximum of $250,000 each. It is anticipated that two grants will be awarded. For more details visit MN Futures grant awards.

NIH's Loan Repayment Program (LRP):

NIH's Loan Repayment Program (LRP): a new network - The Ambassador Program - connects potential LRP applicants with former and current LRP awardees.  LRP ambassadors serve as a personalized link/connection between the programs and potential applicants at their home institutions, providing advice and encouragement regarding the LRP application process.  For more information visit https://www.lrp.nih.gov/ambassador-program

Maximizing Investigators' Research Award for Early Stage Investigators (ESI) (R35)

Maximizing Investigators' Research Award for Early Stage Investigators (ESI) (R35): An ESI is that person within 10 years of receipt of a terminal degree.  

The NIH National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) has several divisions including Pharmacology, Physiology, and Biological Chemistry. This award will support the research program of investigators who are aligned with the NIGMS mission https://www.nigms.nih.gov/about/overview/pages/default.aspx


The purpose of this award is to increase flexibility for investigators to follow important new research directions as opportunities arise, rather than being bound to specific aims proposed in advance of the studies. It will also reduce the time spent by researchers writing and reviewing grant applications, allowing them to spend more time conducting research.  For more information visit (PAR-17-190).  Application Receipt/Submission Date(s): October 3, 2017; October 3, 2018; October 3, 2019, by 5:00
