SUBJECT:

Now Accepting Proposals: Seed Funds for Large Proposal

Development The Center Launch program provides seed funding to support teams of UC San Diego scholars in their efforts to pursue new large-scale,
extramural funding.

The Office of Research Affairs (ORA) invites applications for one-time,
non-renewable seed funding for planning and development activities
leading to the submission of proposals for major extramural research
support.

Awardees are expected to submit at least one proposal for major external
funding. Commitments to develop proposals to specific, large-budget
funding opportunities will be prioritized in the 2018-19 competition.
Applications involving co-investigators from other research institutions
and multiple UC San Diego Vice Chancellor areas (i.e., General Campus,
Health Sciences and Scripps Institution of Oceanography) are encouraged
but not required.

ORA intends to make up to three smaller ($20-30K) and up to three larger
(up to $75K) awards for AY 2018-2019.

The deadline to apply is October 18, 2018, with funds available in
January 2019.
