Internal Competition Completed
Principal Investigators Selected:
- Maria Barbolina, Assistant Professor, College of Pharmacy
- Miljan Simonovic, Assistant Professor, College of Medicine

Program Summary
The basic aim of the Foundation is to dispense that amount of yearly income required by law for the purpose of advancing knowledge in the various fields of medical and health research.
The Foundation aims to confine contributions to those worthy projects that are in need of initial start-up funding to move the projects forward to the point of other independent support or to support highly promising young investigators at the time when start-up funds are limited and initial progress is dependent on additional funding.
It is not the intent to support projects that are already under way and are already receiving significant grant support to provide long-range funding beyond an initial 3-year period of support.
Award request can range between $50,000 to $75,000 per year. The project period can range between one to three years. The Foundation will not fund overhead. Grants will be made and restricted to domestic institutions.
UIC is restricted to three applications.
