Kavli Institute Collaboration Kickstarter (KICK) Grants - The Kavli Foundation Funding Application Portal Kavli Institute Collaboration Kickstarter (KICK) Grants Deadline 28 Feb 2025 05:00 PM (PST) The Kavli Foundation invites applications from Kavli Institute members to establish new collaborative projects with scientists at other Kavli Institutes (KIs).
This call is open to proposals between at least two current members of different Kavli Institutes , who seek moderate support to conduct an investigative research project, scholarly pursuit, or a public engagement project that leverages expertise beyond what is currently possible at their home institution.
The following are examples of, but not limited to, work that may be applicable: Travel expenses for a postdoctoral or graduate fellow to engage in a short-term residency, to learn a technique or skill, or to engage in focused theoretical work from an expert at another KI Seed funding for a new project or technology that spans fields, with scientific staff from two or more KIs Conducting a pilot project between experimental and theoretical researchers from KIs, to establish a proof-of-principle toward an application for non-Kavli funding Support for a public engagement project, or social science research related to a scientific endeavor, involving multiple KIs The Kavli Foundation has received input from Kavli Institutes that there is interest in a mechanism to apply for moderate funding to catalyze collaborations between members of different KIs – particularly across interdisciplinary fields.
To address this need, a competitive grant mechanism has been launched, with the intent to provide funds for KI members to work with other KIs to kickstart new projects or collaborations.
Proposals on the following topics are beyond the scope of this call and will not be considered: Extension of existing collaborative projects Recruitment of new staff, or inclusion of staff not already affiliated with a KI Supplementing existing programs or fellowships already available at a KI Attending a meeting or conference Funds to supplement salary will not be covered.
The foundation will consider requests between $10,000 and $120,000 based on merit and overall funding capacity at the time of receipt. Project duration should be between 1 and 10 months. Ordinarily, projects will not be renewed; however, a particularly successful program could be considered for a maximum of one renewal.
If proposed work is outside this scope, please contact the Foundation before submission. Kavli Institute members do not need to be KI professors or laboratory Principal Investigators (PI) to apply, but graduate students or postdocs must have a letter of support from their PI submitted with the application.
At this time, a KI member may apply for no more than one KICK Grant, and it is unlikely that a Kavli Institute would receive more than one KICK Grant per year. Potential applicants are encouraged to contact The Kavli Foundation in advance of submitting an application with questions or to verify eligibility (see contact information below). Only applications submitted through the online portal will be considered.
Click the APPLY button to access and submit an application. Be prepared to provide: Duration of project (in months) Kavli Institute participants. Identify the PI from each KI Indicate if the KI director(s) are aware of this proposal.
Project proposals are welcome from any KI members, and KI directors should be informed prior to submission. Description of the proposed work, rationale, and scope (1000 word limit) Bibliography optional (300 word limit) Budget - Requested amount and a short justification.
A detailed budget is not required (200 word limit) Indicate if matching funds will be available from a host KI For student or postdoctoral applicants: Attach a Letter of Support from the advisor or PI No additional materials or appendices will be considered.
Due to the high volume of proposals, we will shift from a rolling review to reviewing KICK proposals annually in early Fall, and issue awards for selected projects in the following calendar year. The deadline for KICK proposals for 2025 is February 28, 2025 For any questions, contact The Kavli Foundation at science @kavlifoundation.
