Call for Proposals
Next Deadline for Proposals: To Be Announced
The Institute of Cognitive and Decision Sciences is pleased to announce:
2011 Seed Grant Opportunities for Faculty, Students, and ICDS Project Groups.
In order to stimulate both new and existing projects and collaborations, ICDS announces the next call for seed grant proposals to be used before the end of the 2011-2012 academic year (by June 30, 2012). We expect to be able to support several proposals. These grants are specifically intended to support interdisciplinary or collaborative research, or curriculum development. We are particularly interested in multi PI projects that reach across campus and non-campus units. Those members who have received funding from ICDS in the past are welcome to apply.
Faculty grants: We hope to provide small seed grants at the $2,000 to $5,000 level and potentially provide seed funds for major projects up to $20,000. An important criterion in the review of all Faculty proposals is their potential to translate seed money into external funding. Faculty applicants must be ICDS members.
Graduate student grants: We hope to fund several Graduate Student proposals at the $1,000 to $3,000 level. These grants can be used for pilot data collection or presentation at a major interdisciplinary conference. Graduate Student applicants need to be ICDS student members or join at the time of application.
APPLICATION PROCESS
Application Deadline: April 25, 2011.
