New Investigator Grants
Request For Proposals
2008-2009 Funding
Deadline 1/31/08
Description
Investigators eligible for PI status in the UC System in any scholarly discipline who have not previously served as principal investigators on TSR&TP-supported research or received funding from our Lead Campus programs are invited to submit proposals in response to this call. We wish to fund new investigators who will pursue novel research that will provide the basis for subsequent applications to extramural funding sources.
The emphasis in this call for proposals is on the development of new research areas for the UC TSR&TP, as well as to fund meritorious research in programmatic priority areas.
The UC TSR&TP Executive Committee recognizes that an important role for university toxics research should be anticipatory research addressing possible major problems of the future. Therefore, we encourage submission of innovative proposals that address emerging problems in the toxics field. Such applications should include an additional statement of why the issue being addressed is likely to be of importance in the future.
Award Amount
Submissions should be for projects that can be substantially completed in 2 years or less. The maximum amount awarded will be $40,000 per year for either one or two years (direct costs only). Funding is primarily intended to support graduate students. Non-student salary support is not allowed.
Application Process
Eligibility: Any UC or UC-managed National Laboratory researcher with Principal Investigator status on their campus/lab who has not been previously supported by the TSR&TP or our Lead Campus programs.
Deadline: Proposals must be submitted on the TSR&TP website by 5:00 PM on January 31, 2008 to be considered in this competition.

- Prepare your application using the TSR&TP Investigator Application Guidelines
