UMB $50k Seed Grant Program
Deadline: January 28, 2025
The purpose of the seed grant program is to award projects that provide support for pioneering
research at early stages of development that focuses on cancer sciences. This innovative mechanism is
designed for research that can provide preliminary data for preparation of larger applications, such as
U54 pilot or full projects or at the R21 or R15 level. Potential fundable projects under this mechanism
include, but are not limited to:
- small observational studies to generate hypotheses;
- purchase and analysis of datasets for preliminary analyses;
- conducting metanalyses for design of future studies; and
- studies that include key experiments that could provide feasibility for larger studies
