The School of Medicine and the School of Biological Sciences Deans’ Offices are pleased to announce the SOM-BIO Incentive Program to promote collaborative grant submissions between our two schools. Specifically, multi-PI (MPI) research grants with one MPI from UCI School of Medicine and the other MPI from UCI School of Biological Sciences at the NIH R01 level or similar (not R03 or R21) are eligible. Program details include:
- Eligible faculty must have a primary appointment in either School of Medicine or School of Biological Sciences
- For each award submitted, one MPI from School of Medicine and one MPI from School of Biological Sciences are eligible for the incentive payments*
- Eligible Dates of Grant Submission: 1/1/22 – 12/31/22
- Incentive Plan Details:
- Submitted grants: $2500 per MPI
- Funded grants: an additional $2500 per MPI
- Incentive payments will be allocated as unrestricted funds to each MPI
- If more than one MPI from each school, the $2500 incentive(s) would be shared
- Only MPI opportunities are eligible
- There are funds available to incentivize a maximum of 8 award submissions in this program
To be eligible for these funds, one member of the team must fill out the SOM-BIO INCENTIVE FORM prior to submission. For more information and additional grant submission support, please contact the Research Development Unit in the School of Medicine (somrd@hs.uci.edu) or in the School of Biological Sciences (bio-research@uci.edu).
