Internal Sources of Funding |
Emory University Internal Funding SourcesThe Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) has compiled this list of Emory University internal funding sources for research and teaching projects as a convenience for the Emory research community. Applicants are encouraged to contact directly the Emory unit that sponsors the grant competition for current information on deadlines and proposal guidelines. Proposals to internal grant competitions within Emory do not need to be routed through OSP. We welcome additions or corrections to this list. Please contact Office of Sponsored Programs at 727-2509 or by email at osp@emory.edu with comments or corrections. Please Note: These grant opportunities are available only to faculty and, where noted, students affiliated with Emory University. Table of Contents Center for Research on Complementary and Alternative
Medicine Center for Research on Complementary and Alternative Medicine in Neurodegenerative Diseases The Developmental Research Program serves to provide funds for developmental pilot studies that explore innovative ideas or that establish the methodological feasibility and strengthen the scientific rationale for proceeding to trials on the use of CAM. These projects may be collaborative among scientists within one or more Centers or with scientists outside the Center environment. Funds will be provided for 1year. The expectation is that successful feasibility studies will become fully developed projects within the Center, or funded through other forms of research support (e.g., R01). Please see our web page for additional information. Center for Teaching and Curriculum The Center for Teaching and Curriculum (CTC), Faculty College Science Council, and Institute for Comparative and International Studies (ICIS) offer summer stipends for course development to Emory College faculty members. Calls for proposals generally are issued in March each year. Refer to the CTC web page for details. EmTech Biotechnology Development, Inc is inviting proposals from Emory
University and Georgia Institute of Technology faculty for funding under
the EmTech Bio Seed Grant Program. The Program funds research in the biomedical
sciences. Applications from Emory faculty should be routed through OSP
and are due at EmTech by November 21, 2003.
