Addressing Racial/Ethnic Health Disparities

Full Proposal Deadline: January 22, 2010 by 5:00 p.m.

The purpose of this call for proposals is to encourage small-scale pilot research projects addressing racial/ethnic health disparities that can be completed within 12 -16 months and have the potential to lead to a
larger federally or foundation funded award application. We are interested in a variety of health disparities research topics from ethical, legal, and social implications (ELSI) of genetic research to community-based
participatory research approaches.

The North Carolina Biotechnology Center's Undergraduate Biotechnology Research Fellowships Program

Applications Due February 17, 2010

Education and Training Program

Dear Colleague:

We are pleased to announce the Undergraduate Research Fellowship grant program this spring to support student science and engineering research and foster interest in and preparation for careers in biotechnology.

Undergraduate research funded in this program must have strong relevance to biotechnology science, technology, and applications; and must fall into at least one of three different tracks:

• Industry-Relevant Projects should directly involve industry. Examples include research internships at companies or on-campus research on a problem for a specific company or on an application demonstrably near commercialization.
  
  
• Collaborative Projects should involve research collaborations between laboratories, departments or institutions; or permit students to work on projects at site(s) outside their home departments.  Interdisciplinary research collaborations are especially encouraged.
  
  
• Regionally-Relevant Projects should focus on problems relevant to the needs, and/or biotechnology-related industry important to a specific region in North Carolina (e.g., marine biotechnology, natural products).

Application guidelines and instructions will be posted on the Center’s website (http://www.ncbiotech.org/undergrad_biotech/) on January 7th, 2010. Applications will be due at noon on February 17, 2010, with notification of awards by April 1.

If you have any questions, please contact the Office of Sponsored Research and Programs at extension 6494.
