This mechanism is designed to meet the more immediate,
short-term needs of scientists whose research could benefit
from relatively rapid access to SNPRC nonhuman primate
resources. Examples of such situations include (but
are not limited to) the need for additional preliminary
data in support of a revised grant application to the NIH;
requested new or confirmatory data in response to reviews
of manuscripts reporting research results; or validation of
new or modified protocols in samples from a small number
of animals. The spirit of the grant is to provide a rapid mechanism of limited
support
for "proof-of-concept" investigation and that will enhance interactions between scientists and the Primate
Center in
order to foster a longer term cooperative relationship in acquiring
NIH
funding.
Applications for funding under this mechanism
will undergo administrative review by the Director of
the SNPRC.
The current maximum award is $10,000 for a period
of one year.
Applications for funding under this mechanism
are accepted at any time (i.e., no fixed deadlines).
Potential applicants for support of research in the form
of a Director’s Discretionary Small Research Grants
are encouraged to confirm whether anticipated activities
and costs are eligible for funding under this mechanism by
contacting the Office of
the SNPRC Director.
