edu/research/funding-pathways/seed-grants) ## Supporting early-stage, collaborative health scholarship Seed Grants support exploratory projects that catalyze novel ideas and collaborations and build a case for larger-scale or more expansive projects that will help people live healthier and longer lives. This grant program supports co-designed projects that will be implemented with a global partner.
Proposals without a strong collaborative focus with partners in low and middle-income countries are unlikely to be successful. Preference will be given to projects that build an evidence base for impact, design and test solutions, or pilot interventions. Other examples of funded projects may include—but are not limited to—exploring local needs, defining scope of work, validating feasibility of activities, and testing initial ideas.
**Grant Amount:** up to $35,000 **Project Duration:** up to 12 months **Application status: CLOSED** **Proposals must meet the following criteria:** 1. Focus on needs or problems identified by collaborators within low-and, middle-income settings, as defined by the World Bank. 2.
Align with at least one of the four thematic priorities of the center. 3. Be co-designed and implemented with one or more global collaborators.
4. Demonstrate a clearly articulated ‘line of sight’ to impact health for those living in low and middle-income countries. 5.
Advance multidisciplinary collaboration by engaging faculty from at least three U-M schools, colleges, or units within the project team. 6. Include a comprehensive budget that addresses the needs of all collaborators to maximize involvement.
7. University of Michigan faculty in tenure, research, or clinical tracks who are members of CGHE are eligible to apply. Those in postdoctoral or staff roles are not typically eligible; however, we welcome potential applicants to reach out with any questions about eligibility.
## Tips for Successful Applications * Work with your global partners to ensure the proposed project addresses a critical problem. Clearly communicate this critical need in your application. * Schedule a consultation with a project manager at the center to discuss your project idea and receive pre-submission feedback to strengthen your proposal.

-Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) encourages Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) grant applications from small business concerns (SBCs) that propose to develop, standardize, and validate new and innovative assays, integrated strategies, or batteries of assays that determine or predict specific organ toxicities (e.g., ocular, dermal, hematotoxicity, cardiotoxicity, gastrointestinal toxicity, hepatotoxicity, nephrotoxicity, ototoxicity, olfactory loss, bladder toxicity, neurotoxicity, pulmonary toxicity, endocrine toxicity, and pancreatic beta cell toxicity), resulting from both acute and chronic exposures to various chemicals, environmental pollutants, biologics and therapeutic molecules or drugs. In addition, this FOA encourages the development, standardization, and validation of new models of arthritis, convulsion, infection and shock. New approaches for high throughput toxicity screening that involves the use of molecular endpoints, computer modeling, proteomics, genomics and epigenomics and the development of virtual tissues are also encouraged as are development of 3-dimensional organ models for toxicity evaluation. -Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the SBIR (R43/R44) grant mechanisms for Phase I, Phase II, and Fast-Track applications and runs in parallel with a FOA of identical scientific scope, PA-09-007, which encourages applications under the Small Business Technology Transfer (STTR) (R41/R42) grant mechanisms. Funding Opportunity Number: PA-09-006. Assistance Listing: 93.113,93.173,93.361,93.389,93.837,93.846,93.847,93.848,93.849,93.859,93.867. Funding Instrument: G. Category: ED,ENV,FN,HL.
Purpose. This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Institutes of Health (NIH), invites Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) cooperative agreement applications from small business concerns (SBCs) that propose to develop new, or to improve existing application(s) of nanotechnology-based therapeutics or/and in vivo diagnostics. This FOA will specifically support pre-clinical optimization and testing of these cancer-relevant nanotechnology applications against the intended cancer type. The proposed projects must be milestone-driven and must be clearly directed toward development of an ultimate commercial product. The outcomes are expected to advance the discovery and pre-clinical optimization phase so that an Investigational New Drug (IND) or Investigational Device Exemptions (IDE) application could be submitted to the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) by the end or shortly after completion of the Phase II project period. To facilitate these steps, the NCI will assist the awardees in various ways, including the support through the NCI-sponsored Nanotechnology Characterization Laboratory. This FOA will NOT support basic research projects, studies on disease mechanisms, and clinical trials. Mechanism of Support. This FOA will utilize the SBIR (U43/U44) cooperative agreement mechanisms for Phase I and Phase II applications. Funds Available and Anticipated Number of Awards. Awards issued under this FOA are contingent upon the availability of funds and the submission of a sufficient number of meritorious applications. The total amount awarded and the number of awards will depend upon the quality, duration, and costs of the applications received. Funding Opportunity Number: PAR-10-286.
