Research Grant Funding Opportunity | University of Montana Center for Population Health Research Center for Population Health Research Intervention Support Core Call for proposals: CPHR Research Projects The University of Montana’s Center for Population Health Research (CPHR), a Phase 2 NIH Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE), will support one or more Research Projects to represent the next phase of our growing community of investigators.
Note that this funding opportunity is distinct from our pilot project program. Research Projects are multi-year projects funded up to $150,000 in direct costs per year. Research Project Leaders (RPLs) are expected to allocate a substantial portion (~50% grant-supported) of their overall effort to the project.
Applications must describe a research project that fits well with the scientific theme of CPHR. Preference will be given to projects that will make good use of one or more CPHR Core Facilities at the University of Montana. RPLs must qualify either as a NIH Early Stage Investigator (ESI) or as a New Investigator (NI)*, must hold faculty appointments (or equivalent at research institutes), and lead their own research programs.
If you are interested in applying, you are strongly encouraged to contact Curtis Noonan ( curtis. noonan@umontana. edu ) to discuss program fit and eligibility status.
