The school of medicine is introducing a new research award to help faculty members accelerate their discovery and bring their innovative ideas to fruition. The Grant Accelerator Program will provide onetime grants of $5,000–$15,000 to junior and midlevel faculty members to help them overcome barriers to successful grant submissions. These small awards provide a way to rapidly fund data acquisition and analysis that investigators need as part of their grant applications. The funds may be spent at any of the Cores on iLabs. Both clinical and laboratory projects are appropriate for this program.
