Dartmouth SYNERGY 2012: Pilot Project Funding

Request for Applications

The SYNERGY Pilot Grant Program seeks innovative, inter-disciplinary research pilot project proposals that have clear potential for translation into patient-oriented care and population health.

Grants are available for projects that are at an early stage and need support to create pilot data and/or to develop research concepts that will advance (1) methodology and technology innovation for translational research; (2) claims-based translational research; or (3) community-based translational research. Successful proposals must have a high chance of leading to extramurally funded research. A total of up to $300,000 will be used to fund SYNERGY Pilot Projects in 2012 with individual pilot awards amounts of up to $100,000 and for a maximum duration of up to 24 months. The number of grants awarded under this RFA will depend on the nature and quality of applications received.

Eligibility: Early- to mid-career investigators pursuing community-based pilot studies in clinical and translational research at Dartmouth College, Dartmouth Medical School. Thayer School of Engineering, Tuck School of Business, and Dartmouth-Hitchcock and its affiliated sites, including the White River Junction VA Medical Center and the Manchester VA Medical Center, are eligible to apply.

Deadlines: Letter of Intent, February 27; Final submission: April 2, 2012.
