GBCPR anticipates awarding funding for multiple research projects.
Applicants may submit proposals for a maximum two-year funding period, with a total cost budget (i.e., a total cost budget over the entire funding period) of $50,000 to $500,000 per project.
It is anticipated that there will be future RFP-based funding cycles.
Eligibilities
Tenure-track faculty members at the level of Assistant Professor, Associate Professor, or Full Professor at Harvard University (HMS, FAS, HCSPH, HSDM, SEAS), MIT, Boston University School of Medicine, Tufts University School of Medicine, University of Massachusetts Medical School, and hospitals and research institutes affiliated with these four medical schools are eligible to apply as Lead PI.
Proposals may include one or more Co-PI collaborators who will contribute to the intellectual development of the project, design studies or parts thereof, and be involved with the project throughout the term of the funding.
Eligibility requirements for Co-PIs are the same as for the Lead PI. Senior scientists from biotechnology and pharmaceutical companies who meet their firm’s Principal Investigator eligibility criteria are also eligible as Co-PIs.
There can be a maximum of one Lead PI per proposal. A PI may serve as Lead PI on one proposal only and can serve as a Co-PI on other proposals as well.
Instructors, Lecturers, and Trainees (e.g., students, clinical trainees, postdoctoral fellows, and clinical fellows) cannot serve as the Lead PI or Co-PI of an application, although they would be encouraged to participate as members of the research team.
