Funds may be used to develop or expand collaborative projects in one or more of these areas: 

1. Community-engaged research or assessment

2. Education or training 

3. Dissemination of research results, program features, or policy implications

Applications are due on March 1, 2023, at 5pm.

The Office for Research in the School of Medicine is supporting Clinical Trials Pilot Projects with up to $75k per year for two years of funding. We are committed to expanding the impact of clinical trials research through multi-investigator teams that create new knowledge, treatments, and patents. To embrace team collaboration, the multi-investigator team should consist of a primary investigator, co-investigator, and wherever appropriate involve a LSOM leaner such as an advanced medical student or resident/fellow. 

Application due date: Wednesday, March 1, 2023
