Limited Submissions
| Research Grants Description: The foundation makes grants for projects or programs carried out in the United States for the advancement of medicine and pharmacy, including scientific research, postgraduate scholarship and fellowship assistance, and studies in nutrition, blindness, deafness and other physical disabilities. Restrictions: Internal coordination required. No more than three Letters of Inquiry from the same institution per meeting will be accepted. No more than one active grant normally will be permitted to be outstanding at any institution. Therefore, investigators at an institution where there is an ongoing grant should not submit requests for projects overlapping the period of the funded project and, if that project is a multi-year project, they should bear in mind that a renewal application for that project is likely to be favored over a new project.

| Fundamental Research Supplement Opportunity for I/UCRCs - NSF 08-068 Description: NSF invites supplemental requests for fundamental research in NSF Industry/University Cooperative Research Centers (I/UCRC). This supplemental opportunity is intended to support fundamental research, an activity designed to broaden scientific and technical knowledge beyond the more applied research interests of the industries served by the I/UCRC. The Fundamental Research Supplement program intends to provide the opportunity for its centers to conduct fundamental research to better position themselves as leaders for emerging areas that could benefit the industries that they serve. Industry members are increasingly reluctant to invest in fundamental research as they are under pressure by investors and other stakeholders to maximize profits and their returns on investments. Supplements must discuss how the proposed research will benefit current industry members and attract new industry members. Restrictions: Internal coordination required. One supplemental funding request per center is allowed. Multi-university supplemental funding requests must be part of the same integrated research experimental plan of the center. The total budget for all site submissions from a center cannot exceed the maximum award. Internal Deadline: 12/4/2009 Agency Deadline: 2/3/2010 [ Email to a Colleague ] |
