Research Opportunity Incentive Seed Fund
Deadline: December 7, 2007
New, faculty-initiated research programs that are multi-/interdisciplinary and that have the expectation and a reasonable plan for becoming externally-funded programs at the University of Florida.
- Projects should be innovative, support institutional mission goals, have strong potential for garnering future funding from external sources, or have outstanding commercial potential.
- Opportunity Fund awards are not intended to support on-going projects -- they should support new ideas (projects) and/or new collaborative partnerships. To be competitive, proposals must be multi-/interdisciplinary and must involve faculty from at least two departments/units/colleges. Single-investigator proposals are not eligible.
- Proposals may be submitted by any UF faculty member (PI) eligible to submit a proposal to an external funding agency. Courtesy, Adjunct, Visiting and OPS faculty; Assistant In, Associate In, Senior Associate In; Research Associates; and Postdoctoral Associates are not eligible to be PI's on Opportunity Fund awards; they may participate as co-PI's or co-investigators.
SUBMISSION Guidelines
Proposals should consist of the following materials in this sequence:
- Cover Page (DSR-1 form). Completed and signed by the PI, Co-PIs, the appropriate chairs, deans, directors, vice presidents.
- 2. Abstract. Explain the rationale for the work to be accomplished in terms that can be understood by an "intelligent non-expert."
- Project Description. Up to five (5) pages of text MAXIMUM describing the project. If proposals are longer than 5 pages, only the first 5 pages will be reviewed.
- References (maximum of 3 pages)
- Participants. A list of the individuals to be involved and details of their participation.
- A detailed budget
and justification of expenses.
- Budgets should not exceed $100,000; most awards will be for less.
- The budget may include all normally allowable costs of research with the exception of faculty salaries and indirect costs. The percent effort of each participating faculty member must be included.
- Budgets may be for a period of one or two years.
- A specific start date should be given. If no start date is specified, the Office of Research will assume a start date of May 1, 2008.
- Plans to obtain continuing external support for the project. Proposals must specifically list the sources of external support that will be pursued following the seed money provided by the Research Opportunity Incentive Seed Fund; and/or:
- Description of the commercial potential, including a statement of potential market size and how the funding could increase the marketability of the technology.
- Current, brief (maximum of 3 pages) Curriculum Vitae or resume of the Principal Investigator and each of the Co-PIs (NIH- or NSF-style biosketch suggested) and a list of their currently funded research with percent time commitment to each funded project.
- Appendices, if necessary to support the proposal, should be brief (e.g., one reprint); please do not attach manuscripts or other lengthy documents.
- Submissions should be turned in to:
