Research Advisory Council announces $50,000 grants for collaborative projects in southeastern NC
The Research Advisory Council, a joint committee composed of research leaders from Novant Health, NH-New Hanover Regional Medical Center (NH-NHRMC) and UNC School of Medicine (UNC-SOM) are sponsoring two research pilot award projects that will award multiple 1-year grants of up to $50,000 each.
The RAC is seeking collaborative projects that will promote research to understand and improve relevant community health challenges in southeastern North Carolina through a lens of access, value, and equity.
Researchers eligible to serve as PI include permanent faculty whose appointments allow them to serve as PI on externally sponsored research projects and non-faculty such as research scientists and investigators who are eligible to apply for investigator-initiated awards and R01-level funding. Applications must include one Co-PI from UNC-SOM and one Co-PI from NH-NHRMC, Novant Health Medical Group Coastal Region.
It is desirable that projects serve as a stimulus for subsequent research initiatives and grant applications to the NIH or other external funding agencies. Submissions are due February 11, 2022.
