OnPAR is an initiative from Leidos Life Sciences in partnership with National Institute of Health (NIH) to provide investigators a funding opportunity for their highly scored, unfunded applications. The primary goal of OnPAR is to connect funders with unfunded research applications. OnPAR matches these applications with non-government organizations (NGOs). OnPAR members (NGOs) are private foundations, pharmaceuticals, and private funds that will be looking at submitted public abstracts. This service is free for all investigators worldwide, and investigators do not have to re-write the unfunded application.

Please join GUIRR for a webinar with Martin Duenas, Director of the Health Research Management Practice (HRMP) at Leidos to discuss the program.

There is no cost to this webinar, but registration is required. A confirmation email will be issued prior to the event containing the webinar URL.

Deadline – DNA Core and Informatics Core Grants

Tickets

Sep 29 @ 5:00 pm – 5:00 pm

The DNA Core Facility and the Informatics Research Core Facility will be awarding a limited number of small grants to MU investigators to support research projects using next-generation sequencing technology. The award covers library preparation, sequencing costs and data analysis. The goal of each award is to support a faculty member from the University of Missouri in obtaining pilot data for a grant application.

Funding for this program has been made available by Vice Chancellor Mark McIntosh and the Office of Research, Graduate Studies and Economic Development.

Applicants may request up to $10,000 for DNA sequencing and $10,000 for data analysis of a given project.

Guidelines:
• The Principal Investigator (PI) must be associated with one of the University of Missouri System campuses (MU, UMKC, UMSL, or Missouri S&T). Graduate students, post-doctoral fellows, staff members or faculty members may apply.
• If the PI is not a faculty member, the application must include an attached letter of support from a faculty member.
• Applicants may not hold funding directly related to the proposed research.
• All services related to the award must be completed by June 30, 2018. No funds will be carried over in to the next fiscal year.

Application Process:
• Applicants are to provide a one page summary of the research project with a description of how the pilot data will strengthen a future grant application.
• Along with the project summary a complete scope of work which includes:
o sample number
o library prep type
o run type
o read count/Gb per sample required
o type of downstream of analysis (ie, RNA-Seq, genome assembly, etc)
o if there is potential for a novel outcome, describe its impact on the field of study
• Submission deadline for applications is September 29th at 5:00 pm.
• E-mail the application as a PDF or Word document to DNA-Core@missouri.edu with “NextGen Sequencing Pilot Project” in the subject line.

Questions about this award may be addressed to Nathan Bivens, Associate Director | 882-0428 (bivensn@missouri.edu).
