Institutional Seed Research Program
Request For Proposals
UNTHSC Faculty Seed Grants
Proposal Submission Deadline : October 30th 2009, 5:00 PM
Purpose:
To foster UNTHSC areas of research ideas/concepts and enhance UNTHSC based opportunities for external research funding particularly from Federal Agencies.
Program Scope:
Research projects submitted for this seed grant program must belong to areas of research interest to UNTHSC and must be suitable for external funding.
The total amount of funds available for this program FY 2009 / 2010 is $200,000. Utilizing historical data we anticipate that six to ten grants will be funded under this mechanism. However, the final number of grants ultimately funded will depend on the quality of grants received.
Eligibility and Limitations:
Any UNTHSC faculty member eligible to apply for external support may submit a proposal. Proposals are restricted to providing research support at UNTHSC. The grant proposal should be submitted by the Lead PI listing the other investigators as co-principal investigators. Only one proposal may be submitted naming a particular faculty as the principal investigator. However, a PI or a Co-PI may serve as a Co-PI on more than one proposal.
Key Dates
- Proposal Submission Deadline: Friday, October 30th, 2009, 5:00 pm
- Award Notification: Friday, December 18th, 2009

Request For Proposals
UNTHSC Seed Grant Opportunity
Proposal Submission Deadline : November 23rd, 2009
Purpose:
To foster research in hyperbaric medicine and wound healing and enhance UNTHSC’s opportunities for external funding in these two areas particularly from Federal Agencies.
Program Scope:
Funds have been made available to support innovative research focused on uses of hyperbaric pressure in medicine, and/or on mechanisms / therapeutic strategies for wound healing. Focus of research projects may be basic, translational and / or clinical.
One grant of up to $35,000 will be granted. A budget that describes personnel and planned expenditures must be submitted with the application .
Eligibility and Limitations:
Any UNTHSC faculty member eligible to apply for external support may submit a proposal. The grant proposal should be submitted by the lead PI listing the other investigators as Co-Investigators. A faculty member may submit both a proposal as a Principal Investigator, and one as a Co-Investigator.
Funding Priorities:
This is a seed grant program. Thus, the proposal judged to be most meritorious and likely to result in extramural funding will be given highest priority. Within that framework, the following additional priorities are noted:
- Interdisciplinary research involving faculty from multiple UNTHSC schools
- Projects that include an industrial partner.
Key Dates
- Proposal Submission Deadline: Monday, November 23rd, 2009, 5:00 pm
