Call for Applications from the Nebraska Center for Nanomedicine (NCN) for Imaging Related Pilot Project Grants
Submission deadline: July 15, 2015
Peer Review Date(s): August 30, 2015
Start Date(s): October 01, 2015
It is recognized that adding non-invasive imaging studies to characterize biodistribution and efficacy is difficult and expensive. This Request for Applications is designed to remove the steep initial barrier to investigating the ability of imaging methods to enhance studies developing nanoformulated drugs. This funding is available to support costs of imaging and image processing among current and potential future NCN CoBRE investigators and their collaborators.
Awards will be made for 1 year with funded amounts up to $10,000 per project.
Budget Guidelines
The budget must not exceed $10,000 total.
The budget will cover time charges for instrument use. MRI scan costs are $160/hr and SPECT/CT time charges are $100/hr. Time charges includes the cost of a trained technologist for animal handling and scanning as well as aid and training for data processing and interpretation.
Timelines
Please direct all questions to Michael Boska at mboska@unmc.edu or 559-3138 or Tatiana Bronich at tbronich@unmc.edu or 559-9351. Applications must be submitted electronically to Chris Allmon (callmon@unmc.edu) no later than July 15, 2015.
