Pilot project grant funds are now available
from the Institute for Cellular Engineering (ICE) to support projects
pertaining to stem cell biology and engineering. Therefore, applications
are being solicited for the Molecular and Cellular Engineering
Pilot Program (MCEP). Renewal applications will also be considered
for a second year of funding contingent on progress, and, in some
instances, for a third year of funding. MCEP grant applications
will be evaluated for their novelty, innovation, and impact upon
the field of stem cell research. Guidelines for submission appear
below, and the application form is accessible at: www.insidehopkinsmedicine.org/
ICE_application_form.htm.
Applications must be submitted electronically.
Please submit the entire application as a .doc file to the following
e-mail address: Helen Montag (hmontag@jhmi.edu)
by October 1, 2002. Applicants will be notified on December 1,
2002.
Guidelines for Applications
1. Awards will be made for pilot projects of feasibility studies
preparatory to the development of an application for independent
peer-reviewed support and/or to take maximum advantage of a unique
research opportunity or idea.
2. Applications will be judged by a review panel composed of the
ICE Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee will have the option
of consulting outside reviewers on an ad hoc basis. High priority
will be given to the project's innovation and potential impact
upon the field.
3. All Hopkins faculty members may apply. An investigator may
hold only one pilot project award at a time.
4. Grants will be made in the range of $75,000-$150,000 per investigator
per year. Renewal applications will be considered for a 2nd, and
in some instances a 3rd year of funding. A minimum of two new
awards will be given annually, with no more than three awards
given in any one year.
