SEED GRANTS AND AWARDS
NOTE: All awards have been made for 2008. Please check back in December 2008 for next year's announcements.
CHIP has several annual competitions for research
investment capital funds. The purpose of these competitions
is to provide
pilot and seed grant resources to investigators to stimulate
new research in health behavior change at UConn of the type
and quality likely to lead to additional external funding.
An
important component of the CHIP research funding competitions
is mentoring. All proposals submitted receive mentoring
reviews from the review panel that supply guidance in how to
improve
the proposal for subsequent external review (whether the
project is funded by CHIP, or not). The competition
process also includes
a new “reviewer mentoring” component that involves
senior reviewers coaching junior faculty on the review
process.
