Foundation Sponsored Funding
The University of Utah Foundation Relations program can help build a relationship between you and potential private funding partners. Our
team can advise on strategic approaches, arrange visits, review draft proposals and
help translate ideas into fundable projects or programs. Please contact Lynn Marsella Wong if you are interested in applying for an opportunity listed below. You may also find
additional funding opportunities on the foundation relations website.
Chan Zuckerberg Initiative: Challenge Grants in Visual Proteomics
Deadline: February 17, 2021
Grant Amount: project specific
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) has issued a Request for Applications for challenge grants in the field of Visual Proteomics. The ability to view protein molecules in cells and monitor changes in their structure, quantity, distribution, and interactions is key to understanding what causes diseases and finding treatments and cures. The long-term goal of the RFA is to drive technology development aimed at visualizing proteins and their interactions inside the cell. The particular funding opportunity is explicitly aimed at technology development and is not intended to support question-driven basic or translational research, clinical trials, or drug development. Preliminary data is encouraged but not required. CZI particularly encourage applications from researchers in disciplines outside of biomedicine who bring new technology, resources, or frameworks to studying proteins and their interactions inside of cells; women, underrepresented minorities, and members of underserved populations; and early-career investigators, defined as principal investigators who have been in an independent faculty role for less than six years at the time of application.
The New York Stem Cell Foundation: Robertson Stem Cell Investigator Award
Deadline: February 17, 2021
Grant Amount: $1.5 Million over 5 years
NYSCF is soliciting applications from early career investigators for Innovator Awards to be used for exploring the basic biology and translational potential of stem cells. The goal of this initiative is to foster bold and innovative scientists with the potential to transform the field of stem cell research, and advance understanding and use of stem cells in the development of treatments for human disease. New this year, NYSCF has a renewed focus on supporting scientists who have just started their independent laboratories and strongly encourages candidates seeking to secure their first major grant funding as an independent investigator.
Esther A. & Joseph Klingenstein Fund/Simons Foundation: Fellowship Awards in Neuroscience
Deadline: February 15, 2021
Amount: $225,000 over 3 years
The Klingenstein-Simons Neuroscience Fellowship supports innovative research by early career investigators. The research should have relevance for understanding the mechanisms underlying any of a wide range of neurological and behavioral disorders, and may lead to improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of these disorders. Basic research will also be supported. Funding should seed new directions in fellows’ research programs by providing an unencumbered addition to their regular source of research support. Priority is given to candidates who may not have received substantial funding from other private awards yet have highly promising scientific careers. The Klingenstein-Simons award gives recognition to outstanding scientists who have made valuable contributions in their early research efforts, and who show the greatest promise for a successful research career.
Several areas within neuroscience are of particular interest:
- Cellular and molecular neuroscience. Studies of the mechanisms of neuronal excitability and development, and of the genetic basis of behavior.
- Neural systems. Studies of the integrative function of the nervous system.
- Translational research. Studies designed to improve our understanding of the causes, prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of neurological and psychiatric disorders.
Robert Wood Johnson Foundation: Equity-Focused Policy Research: Building Cross-Cutting
Evidence on Supports for Families with Young Children
Deadline: February 16, 2021 for brief proposals
Amount: Up to $200,000
The Robert Wood Johnson Foundation’s Equity-Focused Policy Research (EFPR) grant program seeks to fund a body of research that illuminates strategies and policies that enhance families’ equitable access to key resources for supporting their children’s healthy development. EFPR grants are guided by a research agenda that focuses on: (1) understanding the sources of inequities in families’ access to and use of key resources; (2) identifying and testing innovations to advance equity; and (3) strategies for scaling up policies and approaches that are effective in advancing equity. The agenda addresses three policy areas as providing critical resources for families: (1) access to early care and education; (2) income supports (such as the Earned Income Tax Credit and cash transfer programs) and income generation/replacement; and (3) nutrition supports (such as the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program).
The New York Stem Cell Foundation: Robertson Neuroscience Investigator Award
Deadline: February 17, 2021
Grant Amount: $1.5 Million over 5 years
NYSCF is soliciting applications from early career investigators for awards in neuroscience. The goal of this initiative is to foster innovative scientists whose pioneering approaches have the potential to transform the field of neuroscience. Applicants are invited to apply from all fields in neuroscience in the 2021 application cycle. The foundation especially encourages applications from neuroscientists whose research is focused on human systems. This might include research using patient-derived model systems and approaches using samples or data (genomic, epidemiological, imaging, real-world data, etc.) collected from individuals or human populations. The award provides up to $1.5 million over 5 years. The award does not provide institutional overhead.
