The Turner-Hazinski Research Award is intended to foster innovative, high risk, high impact, and collaborative projects that will lead to improvements in child health. Faculty members at the Instructor or Assistant Professor rank with a primary appointment in the Department of Pediatrics are strongly encouraged to serve as principal investigators for these applications.
All awards will be for $35,000/yr. for two years of salary support and other research costs. Applications with a total budget greater than $35,000/yr. will not be considered.
A priority will be given to applications in support of novel ideas that require proof of concept. The goal of the award is for the applicants to generate preliminary data that will lead to investigator initiated extramural funds. When applicable, those pursuing patient-oriented research are expected to leverage VICTR resources also and this should be outlined in your proposal. Additionally, please note that there is no carry forward of funds. The second year of funding will be dependent upon a satisfactory progress report of first year research activities.
The call for letters of intent will be announced in Fall 2024.
