Research Development Grant Program
Research grants serve to stimulate the development and submission of major multidisciplinary research proposals from investigators in the life sciences to government or private agencies.
KCALSI’s approach for achieving this goal is to support research development grants capable of generating critical preliminary data needed to develop competitive proposals for submission to external agencies.
Proposals are invited for multidisciplinary collaborative research development grants in:
- Oncology
- Comparative Medicine
- Cardiovascular Disease
- Neuroscience
- Technology Applied to Biological Problems
Additionally, crosscutting enabling technologies have been identified for support including proteomics, information technology/bioinformatics and imaging. Awards are limited to $25,000 - $50,000 for one year and are intended to exploit investigator and facility strengths leading to highly competitive proposals directed toward future external funding. The number of awards is subject to available KCALSI funds.
The Kansas City Area Life Sciences Institute has issued over $550,000 in grants since the inception of this program. The return on investment is 7:1. KCALSI expects to issue $600,000 in research development grants in 2006 subject to the availability of funds.
