Grant to Support Emerging Physician-Scientists in Research in Georgia (USA)
GrantID: 74248
Grant Funding Amount Low: $100,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $100,000
Summary
An international career development funding opportunity offers up to $100,000 over two years to support early-career physician-scientists in the field of sleep and circadian research. The award is designed to provide protected time for mentored research projects, helping recipients build a foundation in sleep-related scientific inquiry and positioning them for future, larger-scale grants.
This grant is intended for individuals who hold a medical degree (MD, DO, or equivalent), and who are within ten years of completing their clinical or postdoctoral training, or within ten years of beginning their first faculty appointment. Both U.S. and international applicants are welcome.
Applicants must not already hold independent research funding in excess of $250,000, though certain training-level funding does not disqualify them. Additionally, applicants should have a mentor—or mentoring team—who will guide the project during the award period.
The grant allows flexible use of funds across eligible direct and indirect expenses, with indirect rates generally capped around 8%. It supports a wide range of research activities but excludes applicants with significant financial conflicts or leadership roles in the grant-making organization. A formal announcement for awardees is typically issued several months after the submission deadline.
Proposals are evaluated by a scientific committee, with scoring based on criteria that include research significance, mentoring environment, project design, and institutional support. Progress reports and final outcomes—such as publications or presentations—are required, and institutions can expect scheduled funding disbursements when contractual milestones are reached.
Overall, this opportunity offers substantial support for emerging physician-scientists globally, enabling them to dedicate significant time to sleep-related research in a mentored setting. It helps strengthen their research credentials, advance their careers, and contribute meaningful new insights to the scientific community.
