The University of Pittsburgh Brain Institute announces a new seed grant opportunity to support groups of Pitt neuroscientists as they develop projects that will be competitive for future large-scale funding.


Through a generous gift from the Hillman Foundation and other funds, we anticipate awarding 2-4 grants of up to $100,000/year for up to 2 years. The proposals should describe specific plans to make groups of Pitt faculty highly competitive for large (center-scale) grants over the next few years.


The deadline for submitting a letter of intent (LOI) is Tuesday, May 31, 2016.

More information is available at the http://www.braininstitute.pitt.edu/opportunities/internal-funding

Interested faculty should send an e-mail to Nathan Urban, PhD, at nurban@pitt.edu and Donna Grady, the Brain Institute administrative assistant, at upbi@pitt.edu.

An information session about this program will be held at 5:00 pm Thursday, May 5, 2016, in Biomedical Science Tower 3, Room 6014
