GSI 2025 Pilot Grant Competition – Applications Due March 28th, 2025 | Genome Science Institute The Genome Science Institute will soon hold the workshop pilot grant competition this Spring 2025 aimed at assisting GSI labs at Boston University try out new genetics and genomics technologies.
These pilot grants are intended to provide the resources needed to generate preliminary data prior to the submission of extramural grants (e.g., R01s or P01s). NEW UPDATE TO CHANGE IN SPRING 2025 PILOT GRANT WORKSHOP SCOPE AND NUMBER OF AWARDS – POSTED MARCH 10, 2025. BECAUSE OF THE CURRENT EVENTS AROUND RESEARCH FUNDING, THE GSI IS REVISING THIS PILOT GRANT R.
F. A. PURPOSE AND SCOPE : These pilot workshop grants are intended to stimulate the utilization of new technologies in genetics and genomics research for GSI labs to generate preliminary data for extramural grant applications.
We encourage applicants to seek opportunities to enhance their NIH research proposal applications. The 2025 theme will now only focus on pilot projects that will utilize the Illumina Fluent BioSciences Single-Cell RNAseq technology platform. ELIGIBLITY : Because of current events impacting research funding, the GSI is now only promoting 4 pilot projects utilizing the Illumina/Fluent equipment in the BUCAMED Single Cell Sequencing Core .
Each project can accommodate up to 8 samples per project targeting 10K cells per sample. This GSI funding support will be eligible to BU research faculty on either the Medical or Charles River campuses. Joint PI applications are highly encouraged.
At least one PI must have been a GSI member for six months prior to the submission deadline (Exceptions for new faculty will be considered). GSI membership is open to all BU faculty engaged in genetics and/or genomics research. Recent GSI award recipients are eligible for this award competition.
However, applications from recent awardees will also be evaluated on progress and/or completion of the previous GSI awards and distinctiveness of the new application from previously GSI awards . Please contact gsi@bu. edu to apply.
APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS: A two-page max application outlining the specific aims, rationale, background (brief) and methodology (brief) of the project. The application should also describe the expertise of the individuals involved. Project should be pilot in nature.
However, if applications will use the GSI Award to offset the cost of a larger experiment please describe the additional funding sources that will be used. PI’s are strongly encouraged to reach out to Yuriy Alekseyev (yurik@bu. edu) for guidance on the Illumina Fluent Biosciences technology, prior to submission.
Successful applications will demonstrate feasibility within the chosen technology. The GSI will cover the cost of sequencing, library preparation reagents, technical support for sample runs, and final analysis through the Single Cell Sequencing Core. The Single Cell Core will cover basic analysis.
PI’s interested in additional analyses or custom analyses for a grant application or publication, would need to reach out to core directors directly to coordinate analysis and would need to provide independent funding to cover the cost. All projects must be ready for analysis by summer 2025 and completed before the end of the 2025 calendar year.
The application should describe how the GSI award will generate new preliminary data for a future external grant submission. Those applicants who received GSI awards in the past, please summarize the outcomes of the funded research: grants, publications, collaborations, patent applications, etc. Applications should be sent to gsi@bu. edu by End of Business on March 28th, 2025 .
REVIEW PROCESS: Applications will be reviewed for scientific merit and potential importance in the field of genetics and genomics. Applications will be ranked by the GSI Pilot Grant Committee and funding level determined by the GSI directors. A summary of the discussion is available by contacting the seed committee chair after the review.
Anyone with a Conflict of Interest with a potential reviewer should make appropriate notes in the application. REPORTING: Individuals who are funded should appropriately acknowledge support of the GSI in publications and grant applications that arise from this project. A 1-2 page progress report outlining the work carried out, as well as a basic breakdown of how funds have been spent is due 12 months from the date of award.
Individuals will also be required to present their findings from this research support in the GSI Research symposium. Finally, individuals are required to notify the GSI if any of the work conducted as a result of a GSI pilot grant contributes in any way to either a publication or a subsequent award. This allows the GSI to measure the effectiveness of this program.

Research Opportunities in Space and Earth Science (ROSES) - 2025: A.4 Rapid Response and Novel Research in Earth Science is sponsored by National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) Science Mission Directorate (SMD). This omnibus research funding opportunity includes various program elements, with rolling submissions for Earth Science research through August 2026. Proposers to Earth Science using the NASA Center for Climate Simulation high-end computing facility must include specific budget details.
On August 26, 2026, NSF named the STC class of 2026: TEMPEST at Michigan State, GENIE at Northwestern, and a human-robot co-adaptation center at UT Austin. $90 million total, $6 million a year each. The 2023 class was four centers and $120 million. The award size is intact; the shelf space shrank 25 percent — and that is the number that should reshape how you plan a center proposal.
