The UNC Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology (Ob-Gyn) is now accepting applications for a new, intra-disciplinary pilot program to support Ob-Gyn research. Funded by departmental resources, the goals of this award are to:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Support research in the field of Ob-Gyn through basic, translational, clinical, and population science<\/strong><\/li>\n
  2. Foster collaboration across divisions within the Department of Ob-Gyn<\/strong><\/li>\n
  3. Generate preliminary findings to support future grant applications, through federal and\/or non-federal sources<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    We are accepting research proposals of up to $20,000 in direct costs. The scope of the project can span the discipline of obstetrics and gynecology. Projects should be feasible within 12 months following ethical approval and within the allotted budget.<\/p>\n

    Applications should designate two co-leaders, each with a primary appointment in separate divisions within the UNC Department of Ob-Gyn. Faculty (regardless of academic track) and fellows are eligible for these roles.<\/p>\n

    All departmental collaborations are eligible. Projects that propose new partnerships are encouraged and will be prioritized. Investigators can build upon existing research, education, or clinical care platforms (although not required); however, the proposal should remain discrete from ongoing work.<\/p>\n

    The proposal comprises the following components, to be submitted on an online portal:<\/p>\n
