Accelerator Awards - Rolling application deadline.
The goal of these Accelerator Awards is to efficiently provide small amounts of funding to fill key funding gaps for targeted specific needs and overcome barriers for critical research.
Funds are intended to be used to:
- Support key research that will enable a new NIH application (F, K, or R series) expected to be submitted within the next 12 months.
- Gather data needed for a scored NIH application that is currently being revised for resubmission.
- Support travel between Emory/Georgia TRAC US and International Partner sites to build new collaborations.
- Fill gaps where funding is not currently available
The following categories of Accelerator Awards (with maximum amounts listed) will be available in 2024-2025.
- OPPORTUNITY AWARDS: Will provide up to $4,000 to conduct targeted and time-sensitive TB research activities. Funds should remove obstacles to carrying out research. Expected outcomes are a publication and submission of a NIH grant proposal within 12 months.
- TRAVEL AWARD: Provide up to $4,000 to support an Emory/Georgia TRAC investigator to travel to an international partner site or an Emory/Georgia TRAC investigator to travel to Atlanta. Activities proposed during the trip should be directly related to the goal of submitting a grant proposal to the NIH within 12 months.
- XPERT REVIEW: Provide up to $1,000 to solicit outside reviews for a NIH R01 proposal. For those interested in this service, please contact Dr. Kempker and Blumberg to discuss.
