Request
for Applications (RFA) for Pilot Project Program Grants
2019 Funding Cycle
OVERVIEW
The MUSC Core Center for
Clinical Research is seeking pilot project applications for the 2019 cycle. The
title of the CCCR is Improving Minority Health in Rheumatic Diseases. We
are requesting applications that address research questions relevant to this
topic. The proposal can address directly minority health in rheumatic diseases
or address questions relevant to improving health in rheumatic diseases
regardless of race/ethnicity.
There are two proposal
types:
A.
Faculty pilot projects: The PI must be
on faculty at MUSC at the Instructor level or higher. These grants are for one
year and budgets of $25,000 to $35,000 will be accepted. The area of research
must be relevant to rheumatic diseases and with direct human relevance.
B.
Postdoctoral projects: This is the first
offering of pilot project funding for postdoctoral fellows mentored by a tenure
track MUSC faculty member. These are one-year awards ranging from $5-$10,000.
The area of research must be relevant to rheumatic diseases and with direct
human relevance.
