M. Keck Foundation has a unique program focus and a non-standard selection process, described briefly here:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The Foundation is interested <strong>in concepts and projects so early-stage, and so high-risk that, should the project fail, very little of the work will be of value to future endeavors.<\/strong><\/li>\n<li>This program is not a career development application. The Foundation welcomes, and funds, projects submitted by faculty of any career stage with the appropriate expertise.\u00a0 Although there is only one PI for Keck proposals, it is expected that a multidisciplinary team will be assembled for the project.<\/li>\n<li>Teams can include collaborators from other institutions; international collaborations are limited to 10% of the budget.<\/li>\n<li>The Keck Foundation is <strong><em><u>not interested<\/u><\/em><\/strong> in applications for clinical, disease, or condition-specific projects; applied technologies; drug discovery; or projects that are a progression, incremental advance, or continuation of existing work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Proposal Selection Process<\/p>\n<p>The internal campus selection process is coordinated jointly by the UNC Office of Corporate and Foundation Relations (CFR), the Office of Research Development (ORD) and the School of Medicine\u2019s Office of Research (OoR).<\/p>\n<ol>\n<li>ORD will solicit campus-wide Keck concept papers. Concept papers will be shared with a Faculty-at-Large council, \u00a0 for comment and feedback. Faculty will have a chance to revise their concept papers, based on internal feedback.<\/li>\n<li>CFR and ORD will present revised concept papers to the Keck Foundation for review; this review will be followed by a collective conference call between Keck program officials and UNC representatives to discuss the Foundation\u2019s feedback.<\/li>\n<li>CFR and ORD will coordinate the selection of two institutional applicants\u2014one for the Medical Research Program and one for the Science and Engineering Research Program\u2014to go forward with a submission to the Foundation. Selection of the two institutional applicants will take into consideration the input of the Faculty-at-Large council and Keck Foundation representatives.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p>To Apply<\/p>\n<p>Faculty interested in applying should use\u00a0the <strong>one-page project description<\/strong> template (found as an attachment).
