UNC-GA Research
UNC-GA has announced another round of the UNC Research Opportunities Initiative (ROI). This year, planning and research grants have been separated into two RFPs. These are limited submission programs, and an internal competition will take place. Internal pre-proposals are due to ORIED by 5:00 p.m. on Wednesday 4/12/17 and should be submitted through InfoReady Review. More details including the full RFPs can be found here.
Limited Submission Announcements
These programs are those that limit the number of applications that the university can submit. If you are interested in applying to one of these programs, please visit the "Notification of Interest" link and fill out the form at the bottom of the page. Only those who fill out the form by the deadline will be eligible to participate in internal competitions. To view the Limited Submission Calendar, go here.
This FOA will support creative educational activities with a primary focus on Research Experiences and Mentoring Activities for underrepresented undergraduate freshmen and sophomores in a science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) field, especially those fields which broadly impact bioengineering. The ESTEEMED program is intended to support underrepresented racial and ethnic groups, individuals with disabilities, and individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds. It will prepare these participants for an Advanced Honors Program, such as a MARC U-STAR (T34) program and institutional program with similar goals, in the junior and senior years and subsequently, to pursue a Ph.D. or M.D./Ph.D. degree and a biomedical research career in academia or industry.
Internal due date: Notification of interest: 3/23/17Agency due date: LOI: 4/24/17; Application: 5/24/17
Last year, the Office of Research, Innovation, & Economic Development developed a revised internal process for handing submissions to the NSF Major Research Instrumentation program. That process has been updated slightly for the current year (January 2018 submission deadline). Full details and deadlines can be found here. LOIs for internal competition are due to ORIED on July 20, 2017.
