University Research Committee/ACTSI Call for Proposals-Due January 20
The Emory University Research Committee (URC) is pleased to announce the call for proposals for the spring 2012 funding cycle of URC, ACTSI and a new category of funding priorities, high risk/high potential (HH) grants. The maximum award for both the URC and the ACTSI will be $30,000. The University Research Committee and the Office of the Provost have set aside resources to support highly innovative projects that fall outside of traditional external funding support mechanisms due to reasons that include: non-traditional interdisciplinary collaboration, innovative methods or unexplored areas of inquiry with potential to advance current knowledge. Typically this research is referred to as “high risk, high impact.” The maximum grant amount for the category will be $50,000.
