Flash Grant Cycle 3 - Deadline: 3/10/2021 (noon)
Flash Grants infuse funding at a critical early point when a small, targeted influx of funds can be crucial to shaping innovative research ideas into high potential life sciences technologies, particularly in emerging and converging life sciences sectors. Up to $20,000 may be requested for short, highly focused projects.
- Cycle 3 is a targeted round and is open only to proposals submitted by:
- North Carolina universities/colleges with 2020 annual NIH research budgets less than $9M (see the Flash FAQs for NIH award data) in support of innovation in any life sciences sector, except Class I medical devices or consumer products.
- Any North Carolina university in support of life sciences research that seeks to understand and address health factors that underpin disparities in disease outcomes in patients. Social sciences-based and health care delivery projects are not eligible.
