The SciRIS-ii program provides seed funding ranging from $10K to $20K to individual investigators to establish partnerships, accelerate project development, generate data and manuscripts and foster proposal submissions.
Similar to the SciRIS-ii, the Disease Mechanism and Prevention Fund is focused on assisting individual faculty efforts to establish research relationships with external partners specifically related to health science. These funds are provided by a generous gift from David and Donna Gould to support research into the mechanism, diagnosis, treatment and prevention of (human) disease.
