The Primary Care Consortium will not fund requests for travel expenses. Funds can be used to support trainees or nursing staff working directly on the project; such funds can only be used for current Emory employees or students. The money also can be used to provide supplementary funding for other grants if additional data are being collected with new study questions being addressed. The funds can be used to empirically test innovative educational programs.
Grants will only be funded after the Emory Institutional Review Board (IRB), Animal Research, the Grady Research Oversight Committee, and any other necessary committee approval is obtained. Grants are for one year from the start date of the award. The time period for completion of the grant may be extended for one additional year, at the discretion of the Primary Care Consortium Committee, upon written request and justification from the investigator. This request must be submitted one month prior to the end date of the grant.
If the Principal Investigator leaves Emory, another faculty member, resident, or student may assume the role of Principal Investigator on the grant, with the written approval of the committee. A final one-page written report of the project, along with an accounting of how the funds were used, must be submitted within three months of completion of the grant period.
The Primary Care Consortium should be acknowledged in all publications, presentations, and grant applications as a result of its funded work.
No Principal Investigator may have two active grants. For an investigator to receive a second grant, she/he must submit a final report for the first grant and demonstrate on that report success in terms of presentations, publications, and possibly additional grant funding secured. Interdisciplinary and interdepartmental proposals are encouraged.
If a resubmission is suggested by the committee, only one resubmission per application may be considered. Thus, no application can be submitted more than two times.
