PennCHOP Microbiome Program: Pilot & Feasibility Grant Program: January 25 | University of Pennsylvania Almanac Purpose and Research Focus The mission of the PennCHOP Microbiome Program is to facilitate research across campus focused on understanding the microbiome and altering its composition and activity to improve health.
Pilot/Feasibility Grants are designed to bring together microbiome investigators and to stimulate other researchers to enter the field and investigate the influence of the microbiome in their subject areas. The Pilot/Feasibility Projects can focus on the microbiota at any body site of the human or animal hosts.
Projects can focus on composition and/or function of bacterial, fungal, archaeal, viral communities as well as their physiological and pathological effects on their hosts. There will be two pilot funding mechanisms that will support up to seven pilot grants: 1. Up to five general microbiome pilots.
2. One matching pilot with the School of Veterinary Medicine and one with the Institute for Immunology. • Criteria for the Penn Vet matching pilot: Proposals that are relevant to understanding host-microbe interactions in either clinical or experimental settings, but which include a faculty member from the School of Veterinary Medicine ideally combined with faculty from another School at Penn.
• Criteria for the Institute for Immunology matching pilot: This Pilot will seek proposals that are relevant to understanding the immunological impact of the microbiome in areas related to Autoimmunity, Cancer Immunology, Host Defense and Infectious Disease, Inflammation or Transplantation. The successful Proposal must include a faculty member from the Institute for Immunology.
All faculty members (including Instructors and Research Associates) of the University of Pennsylvania scientific community who meet the eligibility requirements below are invited to submit proposals. Applicants must be a US citizen or have a permanent resident visa. 1.
New investigators who have never held extramural support (R01 and/or P01), or 2. Established investigators in other areas of biomedical research who wish to apply their expertise to a problem involving microbes, or 3. Established investigators in the microbiome field who wish to study an area that represents a significant departure from currently funded work.
