A wide variety of funding opportunities are available for researchers at the IU School of Medicine.
Large Collaborative Grants
Large, collaborative, interdisciplinary grants are the focus of this program and include, but are not limited to:
- Program project grants (P01s)
- Center grants (P30s, P50s, P60s)
- Cooperative agreements (U54s)
- Large DoD proposals.
This initiative aims to bring together IU School of Medicine faculty to work together to generate innovative ideas that further the school's mission and research goals. Funding must be used for experiments to generate data supporting the grant application.
Full-time IU School of Medicine faculty are invited to apply. Please note that faculty holding visiting appointment status are not eligible to serve on these applications, postdoctoral fellows are not eligible to serve as PIs or co-PIs and collaborations with out-of-state faculty and fees as consultants for out-of-state faculty may be considered but must be strongly justified. Up to $75,000 may be available for each application. This is the total amount that can be requested regardless of how many submissions are made. All requests for funds must be matched one-to-one by non-dean’s office resources such as departments, institutes or centers.
Showalter Trust Grants
This externally funded grant program is designed to stimulate “the type of medical research that is most likely to permanently benefit mankind.”
Showalter Trust Grants are open to full-time faculty members of assistant professor or assistant scientist rank with a primary appointment at the IU School of Medicine. There is a single round of competition per year, which will open in September. Up to $75,000 can be awarded for a one-year project.
