Grant Amount:
Deadline: Dean's: Contact your Faculty Research Office for deadline details.
Internal: Nov 28, 2014
Sponsor's: Dec 05, 2014

Subject Areas: Gastroenterology, Patient-centered
Description:

The American College of Gastroenterology (ACG) is offering Clinical Research Awards of up to $35,000 for original clinical research. For these awards preliminary data are expected. As part of the ACG Clinical Research Award, the College also supports pilot projects of up to $10,000 to encourage clinical research among trainees and junior faculty. Pilot awards do not require previous work or preliminary data. The number and size of awards will be determined by the ACG Research Committee.

The mission of the ACG Clinical Research Awards program is to fund innovative research awards that are patient-oriented. For the purposes of these awards, patient-oriented research is defined as: (1) research conducted with human subjects; (2) research on new diagnostic and therapeutic interventions; and (3) research on material of human origin such as tissues and specimens. While research that explores mechanisms of human disease is highly encouraged, the research projects should be translational in nature; i.e., have direct applicability to clinical care. In general, studies involving animals will not be considered unless the work cannot be done in humans.

Application Details:

At least one of the investigators must be an ACG member or trainee member at the time of submission of the grant proposal. Note that physicians in training (interns, residents, fellows) are eligible to apply provided that the work is conducted under the preceptorship of a more senior or experienced investigator.
