    Funding Opportunity Application Due Date: Michigan Diabetes Research Center And Michigan Center For Diabetes Translational Research Pilot/Feasibility Grant Program

    The purpose of this Pilot /Feasibility Study (P/FS) Grant Program is to promote research in diabetes by new and established investigators at the University of Michigan. The ultimate goal of the program is to accelerate the pace of research and enable awardees to generate sufficient preliminary data for successful applications for major research funding from the NIH or other national granting agency.Grant proposals may be in areas of basic biomedical, clinical, behavioral, epidemiological, health services, or type 2 translational research and should address key questions regarding the pathogenesis, diagnosis, prevention, or treatment of diabetes, its complications, or related endocrine or metabolic disorders (for example: obesity, metabolic syndrome, counter-regulatory proteins). Type 2 translational research projects should focus on the translation of research advances into clinical or community practice and include the identification of barriers to widespread adoption of new science and the testing of interventions to overcome these barriers. Eligibility: Individuals who have full-time instructional, research or clinical faculty positions at the University of Michigan.

    Funding Opportunity Application Deadline: The University Of Arizona Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center Pilot Projects

    Description:

    The start date and end date below are meant to suggest that applications can be submitted at any time. Visit the website for further information. The Southwest Environmental Health Sciences Center (SWEHSC), an NIEHS funded Center at the University of Arizona, announces the availability of funds for pilot projects. To assist center members as they prepare to submit grant applications specifically to NIEHS, we are moving to a more flexible and targeted approach to using the funds that are budgeted for pilot projects. Rather than complete projects from start to end with full budgets, a set submission date, and open competition for a limited number of grants, the center will now be evaluation requests for specific assistance on a rolling basis. There are no limits to the assistance that can be requested, either in terms of the type of assistance, time-frame for the assistance, or the dollar value. It is anticipated that awards as little as $500 will be given regularly throughout the year. Eligibility: The Pilot Projects program announcements have resulted in applications from across the state. Since the funding increase in 2007, 68 applications have been received from 19 different University Departments or Centers at the University of Arizona, Northern Arizona University, and Arizona State University.

    Funding Opportunity Application Deadline: University Of Chicago Digestive Diseases Research Core Center Pilot And Feasibility Program

    The overarching theme of the DDRCC is research in Digestive Health and Disease, including inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD) and related areas of intestinal inflammation, immunology, the gut microbiome, metabolism, and epithelial biology/cancer of the GI tract. Pilot and Feasibility applications focused on these “mission” areas will receive higher priority. Broad aspects of basic and translational/clinical research related to enteric microbiology, inflammation, and immunology of the digestive tract and pathogenesis, genetics, pathophysiology, and bench-to-bedside aspects of inflammatory bowel diseases will be given higher priority. In addition, proposals focused on the examination of growth and differentiation, cancer biology, intestinal epithelial biology and pathobiology of the gastrointestinal tract (including the luminal GI tract, liver, pancreas, biliary system, etc.), as well as basic or clinical research in the areas of nutrition, metabolism, and digestive diseases are appropriate topics for Pilot & Feasibility studies.
