Health Systems Institute's Seed Grant Funding
The Health Systems Institute (HSI) is pleased to announce its 2009-2010 seed grant funding program for collaborative and interdisciplinary projects to stimulate research with direct relevance to health and healthcare delivery. Now in its fourth year of funding, the Health Systems Institute is partnering with colleges of Architecture, Computing, Engineering, Management, Sciences, and Research Centers at Georgia Tech, Georgia Tech Research Institute, Emory University's School of Nursing, the Georgia Tech and Emory Predictive Health Institute, Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, and Atlanta Veteran's Administration R&D Center of Excellence. The research must relate directly to research thrusts and applications in healthcare identified in the call, and the objectives of the project should include an outcome that will benefit recipients of healthcare. Evaluation of each proposal will be on the basis of scientific merit, potential health care impact and significance, the potential for commercialization and the potential of the project to obtain further support upon expiration of seed grant funds. Applications are due May 29, at 5:00 p.m. and all investigators who intend to submit a proposal in this cycle are requested to submit a non-binding letter of intent by May 18, at 5:00 p.m. For more information please visit www.hsi.gatech.edu/seedgrantcfp/.
