RFP: Edward Mallinckrodt, Jr. Foundation
|
|
The Edward Mallinckrodt, Jr. Foundation will grant up to $180,000 ($60,000 per year over a three-year period) to support early stage investigators engaged in basic biomedical research that has the potential to significantly advance the understanding, diagnosis, or treatment of disease.
The funds are designed to provide start‐up support to move a project forward to the point where R01 or other independent funding can be obtained. It is not intended to support projects already under way and already receiving significant grant support. This internal U-M competition will select only one nomination.
The internal application deadline is Monday, June 10, 2019 at 5:00 PM.

Sharpening Your Focus: Tips on Grant Proposal Preparation
It's a Match! Finding Research Collaborators
|
|
Did you know that it was reported by the National Research Council of the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine that 90% of all science and engineering publications are co-authored? Establishing meaningful collaborations is critical to achieving long-term research success. Whether you wish to establish collaborations across campus or across the globe, there are resources available to you both within the U-M Medical School and externally to help you identify that next collaborator.
To identify a suitable collaborator, it is helpful to have information about publications, research interests, grant topics, and patents, when available. There are some tools available that can help you identify this information. These tools include:

New Proposal Submission Deadline Policy
|
|
The University of Michigan will roll out a clear and flexible external proposal submission deadline policy on January 6, 2020.
Under the new policy, one of the following levels of review will be provided depending on when the final version of the proposal and its accompanying finalized Proposal Approval Form (PAF) are received in the
Office of Research and Sponsored Projects (ORSP):
- A full review if received at least 32 business hours prior to Submission Deadline entered on the PAF;
- A limited review if received at least 15 business hours prior to the Submission Deadline.
ORSP will endeavor to submit proposals received less than 15 business hours prior to the deadline, but these proposals are at risk of not being submitted.

Clinical Research Studies Migrating to OnCore; MBECT to Sunset
|
|
Starting in June,
Michigan Budget Enrollment Calendar Tool (MBECT) will begin to be sunset. MBECT runs on a platform that will no longer be supported after the end of this year due to security reasons. As a result, all studies (with billable items and services, ie. routable charges in MiChart) currently residing in MBECT must be moved to OnCore. These and select new studies, determined on a case by case basis, will now be supported administratively and receive some level of post-award support from the
Clinical Trials Support Office.
After June 1, 2019, qualifying new research studies should be submitted to the Clinical Trials Support Office through the
CTSU Intake Form. Current studies managed in MBECT will be migrated to OnCore by November 1, 2019. CTSO/CTSU Leadership will reach out to impacted study teams with additional information. For questions, contact
MBECT-Sunset@umich.edu.
