Research, Funding, and Awards

  • Infectious Disease Investigators Funding Opp

    The Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) plays a central role in the continuing success and development of the faculty’s research, scholarship, and creative endeavors through its leadership and support services in Research Administration and Research Development.  To this end, the OVPR will be conducting an internal screening process in support of Investigators in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease sponsored by the Burroughs Wellcome Fund.

    Investigators in the Pathogenesis of Infectious Disease

    The goal of the program is to provide opportunities for accomplished investigators still early in their careers to study the pathogenesis of infectious disease at its most fundamental level – the points where human and microbial systems connect.  The program supports research that sheds light on the fundamentals that affect the outcomes of this encounter: how colonization, infection, commensalism and other relationships play out at levels ranging from molecular interactions to systemic ones. 

    LIMITED SUBMISSION

    Because a limited number of applications can be submitted for the following program, an internal screening process may be required.  If you are considering submitting an application for any of the programs listed below, an on-line Notification of Intent to Submit  must be completed by the requested Intent to Submit Deadline.

    When submitting pre-proposals for the internal screening process, be sure to check the Guidelines for updates.  Pre-proposals not adhering to these guidelines will be returned.
