MSM Funding Opportunities

R-CENTER Career Development Project Award Funding

The purpose of the R-CENTER’s Pilot Project Program is to support Morehouse School of Medicine (MSM) faculty investigators in developing and implementing meritorious, short-term research projects which will generate preliminary data and new discoveries and technologies which aims to improve minority health, eliminate health disparities, achieve health equity, and advance clinical and translational sciences. Innovative health disparities investigations in basic, clinical, community and population-based science are solicited in the funding opportunity announcement (FOA) which is consistent with purpose of the pilot project program and the goals and objectives of the R-CENTER in advancing clinical and translational science at MSM.

All About NIH: Grants, Strategies, Tutorials and Samples

The National Institutes of Health (NIH), a part of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, is the primary Federal agency for conducting and supporting medical research. Helping to lead the way toward important medical discoveries that improve people's health and save lives, NIH scientists investigate ways to prevent disease as well as the causes, treatments, and even cures for common and rare diseases. Composed of 27 Institutes and Centers, the NIH provides leadership and financial support to researchers in every state and throughout the world.

For over a century, the National Institutes of Health has played an important role in improving the health of the nation. The NIH traces its roots to 1887 with the creation of the Laboratory of Hygiene at the Marine Hospital in Staten Island, NY.

The NIH is an agency of the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. With the headquarters in Bethesda, Maryland, the NIH has more than 18,000 employees on the main campus and at satellite sites across the country.

With the support of the American people, the NIH annually invests over $28 billion in medical research. More than 83% of the NIH's funding is awarded through almost 50,000 competitive grants to more than 325,000 researchers at over 3,000 universities, medical schools, and other research institutions in every state and around the world. About 10% of the NIH's budget supports projects conducted by nearly 6,000 scientists in its own laboratories, most of which are on the NIH campus in Bethesda, Maryland.

Help for Your Unfunded NIH Applications

http://HealthResearchFunding.org 
The National Health Council just announced the availability of a database that will help link unfunded NIH applications with potential non-governmental funding sources. We all know that you have more good ideas than NIH is able to fund. That makes this a very good time for the National Health Council to roll out . This database will serve as a kind of clearinghouse for unfunded research proposals.

Helpful Funding Resources from NIH

A major objective of the NIH-RCMI Morehouse School of Medicine Research Center of Excellence in Clinical and Translational Research (RCENTER) program is to establish a vibrant and nurturing research environment that will foster the successful development of a cadre of new clinical/translational investigators. The RCENTER Career Development Project Award is intended to enable these new investigators to test an innovative hypothesis and/or generate the preliminary data necessary to become nationally competitive for extramural research grants. The design of the RCENTER Career Development Project program emphasizes strong elements for mentorship, oversight and career development planning.
