2007 RFA for the Chicago
Biomedical Consortium Catalyst Awards
The Chicago Biomedical Consortium (CBC) is a new initiative, launched with impetus and support from The Searle Funds at The Chicago Community Trust, to stimulate collaborative research and training in the field of Systems Biology among scientists at the University of Chicago, Northwestern University and the University of Illinois at Chicago. To stimulate research and education that bridge institutional boundaries, the CBC is now soliciting applications for Catalyst Awards as part of a key strategy to seed and nurture scientific collaboration across Chicago around the technologies of proteomics, imaging, and informatics as they are used to address biological complexity. Catalyst Awards will be one-time incentive awards, with no expectation of continuation or renewal, made to teams with principals and other strong representation from at least two of the CBC institutions.
Available funding:
Approximately $650,000 to be allocated in calendar 2007
Grants can range up to $250,000 for use over 1-2 years
Catalysts are one-time awards with no expectation of continuation or renewal
Eligibility:
Applicants must be tenured or tenure-eligible faculty with strong research programs at University of Chicago, Northwestern University, or University of Illinois at Chicago who will jointly engage in collaborative research and education in Systems Biology with a focus on the technologies of proteomics, informatics, or imaging.
Proposals must have Principal Investigators from at least two of the CBC
universities.
There may be multiple applications from each institution.
There is no expectation that Catalyst Awards will be distributed evenly among
the CBC institutions.
Submission:
Deadlines: By 5:00 p.m. on March 30, 2007 (Fall) and
September 14, 2007 (Spring).
Only one submission per project group.
Submit electronically by completing the on-line submission form on the CBC
website.
