This mechanism is designed for faculty researchers seeking new research results through new/additional experimentation. The ultimate goal is to create impactful preliminary data for new/revised grant applications to INBRE and external/non-INBRE sources, while at the same time jump-starting the collection of results leading to manuscript submissions.
Supports completion of experiments for submission of publication(s) or extramural grant application for all Partner institution faculty engaged in biomedical research except those investigators receiving funded pilot or research project awards.
Faculty members at a UNH-Durham whose research interests have biomedical relevance are eligible to apply for new Pilot Project grants for one year of support. This includes most faculty in the life sciences, including clinical researchers in nursing, as well as some whose proposed studies are in biomedically-relevant areas of environmental science, computer science, chemistry, neuroscience, psychology, and physics. We especially encourage submissions from faculty who are planning to address reviewer concerns for a previous NIH R01, R15 or foundation grant submission.
