The MedStar Research Institute is currently recruiting
applicants for its fiscal year 2006 intramural funding program.
The emphasis of the intramural funding program is to encourage new
research initiatives and studies by new investigators.
Grants are awarded for a one-year term that will begin on
July 1, 2005 and end June 30, 2006. Awards
are based on the recommendations of the MRI Research Committee and approval of
those recommendations by the MRI Board of Directors.
Proposals are to be submitted to the MRI Office of
Administrative Research Services by
4:00 pm on Friday, April 15,
2005. In
order to allow sufficient time for project review and budget recommendations, it
is imperative that we receive all proposals by this date.
The application may be submitted
electronically through the website. However, the signed original copy of the application form and proposal, along
with the supporting material must be submitted to the Office of Administrative
Research Services.
Funding for FY
2005 grants will automatically end June 30, 2005. Fiscal Year
2006 applications
that build upon a funded FY 2005 project must include a progress report
on the FY 2005 funded project. FY 2006 applications submitted without a progress
report for the FY 2005 funded study will not be accepted.
MedStar Research Institute’s policy prohibits the
use of intramural funds for PI salary; Fellow’s salary; major equipment;
computers; travel; or space and occupancy charges.
These funds can be used for supplies, lab tests, salary for
staff directly involved in the study (e.g., study coordinators, lab techs,
etc.), consultant fees, lab animals, etc.
