Global Health Reciprocal Innovation Demonstration Grants
Letter of Intent Deadline: January 14, 2022
Submission Deadline: March 1, 2022
The Indiana CTSI encourages applications from individuals with full-time, regular faculty appointments and postdoctoral research associates. Postdoctoral applicants must include their mentor on the investigator team as well as their letter of support in the submission package. This award is designed to support research and demonstrate innovations with a high potential to alleviate the health burden of one of the priority areas. Projects should result in high-impact solutions that provide reciprocal benefit to the communities Indiana CTSI institutions serve either at home or abroad, as well as a plan to sustain and expand these efforts into either the partner country or US/Indiana after the end of support from this RFA.
Awards are up to $50,000 for a period of two years.
Submission of a letter of intent is required in order to receive approval for the submission of a full proposal and should address the following:
- Scope and specific aims of the research project
- Project team including the US and international partners and collaborators
- The reciprocal nature of the research project
