Stark Neurosciences Pre-Clinical Neuroimaging Pilot Grant
Submission Deadline: March 1, 2022
The goal of the Pre-Clinical Neuroimaging Research Pilot Study program is to facilitate the generation of new knowledge in neurosciences through the development of funded research programs. This mechanism will provide seed support up to $10,000 for innovative, high-risk animal imaging projects using the Bruker BioSpec 9.4T PET-MRI scanner using the IIBIS In-Vivo Imaging Core.
Applicants (the contact PI) from one of the following three categories are eligible to apply:
- Category 1: New investigators without current or past NIH research support as PD/PI.
- Category 2: Established investigators who do not belong to Category 1 and do not have neuroimaging experience but wish to apply neuroimaging to enhance their current research.
- Category 3: Established neuroimaging investigators who do not belong to Category 1 & 2 and propose testing innovative ideas that represent a clear departure from ongoing research interests.
The award amount is up to $10,000 for one year.

Community Health Partnerships (CHeP) Trailblazer Award
Submission Deadline: June 1, 2022
The Trailblazer Awards support collaborative, community-engaged research projects focused on topics that have the potential to improve health equity in Indiana. This RFA encourages and prioritizes projects that have outlined a sustainability plan using existing Indiana CTSI infrastructure and/or connections to statewide health initiatives.
Eligible projects will propose to either: 1) implement research that has the potential to identify or reduce health inequities; or 2) evaluate an existing health-related program that has the potential to improve health equity.
Funding may be requested up to $25,000 over two years.

Community Health Partnerships (CHeP) Trailblazer Planning Grant
Submission Deadline: August 1, 2022
The Trailblazer Planning Grant Awards support the development of community-university partnerships to improve health, examine social determinants of health, or enhance health equity to result in future collaborative research proposals. The expected outcome of this partnership development award is the development of a future research proposal for opportunities such as the Trailblazer Award.
Awards up to $5,000 over two years will be granted to allow for partnership growth and collaborative grant proposal development.
