Research and Grants
The Interdisciplinary Development Extramural Associate (IDEA) award from the Eunice Kennedy Shriver National Institute of Child Health and Human Development provides funding to support pilot projects submitted by research teams of interdisciplinary faculty and students. Beginning 2009-10 through 2012-13 there is $40,000 in funding available per year for pilot research projects.
Those interested in submitting a pilot project proposal are encouraged to attend the 2009-2010 series of EARDA Grant Workshops which will focus on developing a research proposal for submission to GRAB by December 2009. Researchers who plan to submit the pilot project proposal should begin preparing proposals and completing necessary certification, such as human subjects training and IRB approval. Approved proposals will be submitted to the NIH in March 2010 and if selected, may receive funding as early as July 2010. Dates may vary slightly when 2010 key dates are released.
