SOM Imagine, Innovate and Impact (I3) Awards
Innovation is the cornerstone of the emerging SOM Strategic Framework and is key to all three SOM missions: research, education, and clinical care. A key innovation strategy is to promote interdisciplinary and cross-departmental and -divisional research, i.e., collaborations at the boundaries of disciplines or research requiring input from scientists, clinicians, and/or educators in diverse disciplines. Problems in biology, medicine, and education today are often so complex that such approaches are necessary to tackle them successfully. Often novel insights emerge only when you juxtapose individuals with deep but disparate expertise around a common goal. Award details
I3 MORNINGSIDE CENTER FOR INNOVATIVE AND AFFORDABLE MEDICINE: REQUEST FOR LETTERS OF INTENT IN CANCER
Due: December 15, 2023 by 5:00 PM
RFA Details: I3 Morningside Center Reseach Award
The current ecosystem around medical innovation focuses on unmet medical needs, but rarely prioritizes ideas on the basis of affordability and accessibility. Expensive new drugs result, yet only a fraction of patients globally has access to and can afford these treatments. Ideas that could rapidly result in inexpensive new treatments lie unexplored largely because of a lack of financial incentive to do the research necessary to bring these treatments to market. Emory’s Morningside Center for Innovative and Affordable Medicine focuses on affordable, effective, safe and readily accessible medical treatments that will reduce global disease burden. This RFA will entertain cancer proposals.
I3 MORNINGSIDE CENTER RESEARCH AWARDS AND FUNDING AVAILABILITY: The Morningside Center anticipates awarding up to $1M across three areas and is soliciting proposals for studies in the following:
- PRECLINICAL WORK CRITICAL TO SUPPORT CLINICAL STUDIES
- BIOMARKER DEVELOPMENT FOR REPURPOSED DRUG STUDIES
- CLINICAL TRIALS READY FOR IMPLEMENTATION
For more information, please visit Morningside Center for Innovative and Affordable Medicine.
Bridge Funding Program
Applications are Due April 15 and December 15
To assist investigators who have temporarily lost significant federal research funding, and to facilitate carefully planned changes in research direction, the School of Medicine offers a Bridge Funding Program. Bridge funding up to $100,000 (including Department support/matching funds) will be available to investigators based on merit, potential for renewal of external funding, and availability of SOM funds. View eligibility criteria and application details.
Emory Medical Care Foundation
The Emory Medical Care Foundation (EMCF) offers two different types of grants: research grants and service, education, and advocacy grants. Proposals are due on February 1, June 1, and October 1 annually. View eligibility criteria and application details.
The Office of Foundation Relations (OFR)
The Office of Foundation Relations (OFR) team builds partnerships across Emory's schools and units to increase foundation support for Emory University where mutual impact, interests and strengths align. OFR raises the faculty profile with foundations by submitting thoughtful, strategic proposals and building strong, reciprocal relationships with funders. In addition to providing helpful insight about foundations and their grantmaking processes, OFR serves as an advocate for Emory faculty with potential funders. For additional information, please email the team at EMORYOFR@LISTSERV.CC.EMORY.EDU.
WHSC Synergy Awards
The Woodruff Health Sciences Center (WHSC) regularly announces cycles of the WHSC Synergy Awards to support new collaborative projects between the schools, centers, and faculty of the WHSC. The awards support the WHSC Strategic Plan by bringing researchers together across organizational boundaries in order to catalyze innovation and discovery.
Many Research Centers also offer pilot award programs.
