Multidisciplinary Research Grant

The Multidisciplinary Research Grant is designed to foster interdisciplinary collaborations on complex problems that require more than one area of expertise to solve; involves North Carolina researchers from three distinct disciplines working together for advancement of the state-of-the-art in biotechnology; and cultivates early stage collaborations on new ideas.

This grant is intended to support development of preliminary data for federal grant applications.

Each scientist must directly contribute approximately equal percent effort to the project.

Note: If your proposal has clear potential for commercial benefit or strengthens the infrastructure for future research, it will be more competitive.
