Mellon New Directions Fellowship
UC Santa Barbara has been invited to nominate a candidate for the Mellon Foundation's New Directions Fellowship. Designed to promote interdisciplinary or cross-disciplinary research, this program assists early and mid-career faculty in the humanities and humanistic social sciences whose research interests call for formal training in a discipline other than the one in which they are expert. Faculty members who received their doctorate between 2007 and 2013 are eligible.
Faculty interested in being nominated may submit a Letter of Intent via Competition Space by July 29, 2019.

Request for Proposals: Established Investigator Awards for Clinical Research Collaborative StudiesCottage Health | Cottage Research Institute
The Cottage Health Research Grant Program, supported by the Cottage Health Research Institute (CHRI), released a 2019 Request for Proposals. The purpose of this award is to offer established researchers an opportunity to collaborate on inter-institutional and/or interdisciplinary research projects.
Two types of awards are available for up to $50,000, and special consideration will be given to projects pertaining to: Pediatrics, Trauma, Neurology/Brain Disorders, and Precision Medicine. One or more PI(s) must be a Cottage Health employee or Medical Staff. The program gives priority to projects requiring “seed money” for initiating research for which additional funding from other sources will subsequently be sought. Successful proposals will offer the potential for translational development that could lead to high impact, near-term clinical application in disease detection, prevention, diagnosis, staging, or treatment.
Prior to submitting an application, submit an email to CHRIgrants@sbch.org expressing your intent to submit a proposal. You will be provided with the required application forms. The full grant application deadline is August 16, 2019.
