Are you interested in applying for this NCBC\u00a0grant<\/span>, an NIH S10 (BIG, SIG, or HEI), NSF MRI, or other funding mechanism, but would like to improve your\u00a0grant<\/span>smanship, learn tips and tricks, and have assistance in navigating the\u00a0grant<\/span>\u00a0submission process? The Office of Research Technologies is beginning a Core Director\u00a0Grant<\/span>\u00a0Mentorship<\/span>\u00a0Program. ORT will pair a core director who wants to submit a\u00a0grant<\/span>\u00a0with a peer core director who has successfully been awarded\u00a0grant<\/span>s through the same mechanism or within the same field. Your mentor will help you navigate the funding process, develop a clear plan, and provide a second set of eyes and ears to discuss the finer points of\u00a0grant<\/span>smanship.<\/p>\n

If you are interested in being a mentee OR a mentor, please reach out to Kara Clissold at\u00a0 kara_clissold@med.unc.edu<\/a><\/p>\n

The Office of the Vice Chancellor for Research (OVCR) contributes matching funds, or cost-share, for costs related to enhancing research at 大象传媒. The OVCR will consider cost-share funding requests for the following:<\/p>\n
    \n
  1. Extramural grant proposals that require matching funds<\/li>\n
  2. New technologies that facilitate the advancement of research at the university<\/li>\n
  3. Other specific needs that are of strategic importance to research for the university<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    It is typically expected that the OVCR will not provide more than 1\/3 the cost of the instrumentation.<\/p>\n
