The Institute for Systems Genomics is pleased to announce another seed grant opportunity available to UConn faculty. This seed grant mechanism is intended to facilitate the development and submission of external grant applications by providing genomics data generated from one of the ISG core facilities: the Center for Genome Innovation (CGI), the Computational Biology Core (CBC), and the Single Cell Genomics Center (SCGC). These funds can be used to collect pilot data based on new or commonly used technologies, purchase user time on instruments, analyze sequencing data, obtain expert consultation on novel methodological approaches/techniques, pay for sample or data processing, or to develop key partnerships with industry or foundation partners.
The purpose of the funds must be clearly identified along with a research plan for future funding opportunities.
ISG seed grants provide up to $20,000 in seed funding to facilitate the initiation, completion, or advancement of research projects using the CGI, CBC, or SCGC. Applications are due September 16, 2019. Click here to view our guidelines and eligibility requirements.
