Purpose
This fund is designed to support pilot projects by nursing faculty, the results of which will be used as preliminary data in subsequent applications to external funding agencies. All doctorally-prepared faculty holding a professorial rank in the CON may submit proposals for pilot projects to the Research and Scholarship Committee for review. The expectation is that the proposed pilot project will lead to an external funding opportunity (e.g. NIH, RWJ, HRSA, PCORI, foundations, organizations). All proposals submitted to the Research and Scholarship Committee must follow the required format and will be evaluated for scientific rigor using the standard criteria. Priority will be given to full-time faculty.
Submission Dates
Grants are to be submitted on the first day of the month on the following dates: September 1, October 1, November 1, January 1, February 1, March 1, April 1, May 1, June 1 (9 times per year).
