It is expected that investigations supported by these grants will yield high impact findings and result in major grant applications and funding as well as significant publications in high impact journals. This funding mechanism is designed to support creative, exploratory, cutting edge research in well-established research laboratories, under the direction of established investigators.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Funding is to be directed at projects that may be too innovative and speculative for traditional funding sources but still have a high likelihood of producing important findings. This should be a unique project for senior investigators who are encouraged to stretch their imagination into areas that can substantially change an area of research.<\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Foundation Eligibility<\/p>\n <\/p>\n To be eligible, the nominee must be a\u00a0full-time associate professor\/full professor\u00a0<\/u><\/strong>working in the area of neuroscience and\u00a0brain function in health and disease.\u00a0Current major NIH or other peer-reviewed funding is preferred but evidence of such funding in the past three years is essential.<\/strong><\/p>\n \u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n Studies should be related to either normal human brain development or specifically identified disease states. This includes molecular and clinical neuroscience as well as studies of neural, sensory, motor, cognitive, behavioral and emotional functioning in health and disease. The grant proposal must detail a new research project that is not funded by other sources. This grant is not to be used as bridge funding.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Scientists that have previously received a BRF Scientific Innovations Award may not receive the award for a second time until five years has elapsed since the beginning date of the prior award. Grant requirements from all previous awards must be met. Only one PI may apply per application. (Applicant may include the name of a Co-PI, but no additional supporting materials for the Co-PI are required, including biosketch, current grants, abstracts, etc.)<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Additional Information<\/p>\n Full Solicitation: https:\/\/thebrf.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2021-SIA-Guidelines.pdf<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n For additional information, please contact\u00a0the Limited Submissions Team\u00a0with questions at\u00a0Limited_Submissions@unc.edu<\/a>.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n Limited Submissions Team<\/p>\n Office of Research Development<\/p>\n University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill<\/p>\n 308 Bynum Hall<\/p>\n Chapel Hill, NC 27599<\/p>\n (919)\u00a0962-7503<\/p>\n <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Limited Submissions: Internal Call for\u00a0Proposals\u00a0 Brain Research Foundation 2021 Scientific Innovations Award UNC Internal deadline:\u00a011:59PM,\u00a0Friday, May 22, 2020 *Please distribute\u00a0to relevant faculty* Key Dates UNC Internal Deadline:\u00a011:59PM, Friday, May 22, 2020 Foundation LOI Deadline: Thursday, June 25, 2020 at 4:00 p.m. CST.
