Genome Science Institute Seeks Grant Applications
The Genome Science Institute is pleased to announce the availability of 1-2 seed grants ranging from $10,000 to $20,000 for one year each to enhance genetics and genomics research at Boston University. This Request for Applications (RFA) is open to all BU faculty at the Medical or Charles River campuses. The deadline for applications is March 16, 2009.
This RFA focuses on (1) The expansion of research at Boston University by supporting new collaborations between groups with diverse expertise to address an important scientific question in genetics and genomics research. (2) Development of new and emerging areas of genetics and genomics research.
Joint PIs are allowed. For faculty-level applicants, at least one PI must be a GSI member prior to the submission deadline. The GSI is open to all BU faculty engaged in genetics and/or genomics research. Please contact gsi@bu.edu to apply. Post-doctoral fellows may also apply with letters of support from their faculty supervisor (a GSI member).
This RFA is intended to expand the scope of genetics and genomics research at BU by supporting new areas of research and/or new collaborative efforts between groups that currently do not work together or who are in an early stage of collaboration. Requests to support on-going research or the expansion of an on-going research project by the applicants will not be considered responsive to this RFA.
