The OVPR Research Development Services Internal Funding Program is excited to share that the Clinical Research and Innovation Seed Program (CRISP) will open on March 1st, 2024. The applications can be submitted through the UConn Quest Portal through the deadline of Monday, May 2nd, 2024, at 12:00 Noon. The Clinical Research and Innovation Seed Program (CRISP) is a targeted seed funding program created to 1) help unlock the research creativity of UConn/UConn Health faculty who serve in clinical roles and 2) to support faculty who are doing human subjects research and working with clinical populations.
CRISP aims to support faculty in clinical roles who have compelling research ideas they would like to pursue. Clinical faculty at UConn and UConn Health are world-class practitioners in their areas of expertise, but due to their clinical and teaching responsibilities, they often do not have the resources or opportunity to develop research programs that can lead to external funding. CRISP is designed to provide the seed funding or development resources needed for clinical faculty to get exciting research projects started.
The CRISP program offers awards in three different tracks, one focused on clinical faculty-initiated research, and two open to both clinical and non-clinical faculty that is focused on human subjects and clinical research.
