A limited number of seed grants ranging from $1,000 - $5,000 will be awarded to early career investigators for a project period of 12-18 months. Payments will be made in two installments: 75% upon signing of the grant agreement and 25% upon completion of a final report within 30 days of the project end date. Applications will be accepted in two rounds.
Round 1: Application open August 1 – August 30. Applicants and their mentor(s) will be notified by the end of September.
Round 2: Application open October 1 – October 31. Applicants and their mentor(s) will be notified of funding decisions by the end of November.
An applicant who did not receive funding in Round 1 may submit a revised application during Round 2, provided they still meet the eligibility criteria. A maximum of one resubmission is permitted per project. Resubmissions will be assessed under the same criteria as first-time applications.
