Call for Catalytic Grant Applications
The Department supports up to $500k per year in funding for the Catalytic Grants this year. Dr. Eickelberg will oversee peer-review of applications, and awards will range from $10-50k per year, depending on budget justification of the applicants (note: funding cannot support the salary of the Principal Investigator).
Due Date
Applications are due by 5pm on June 10, 2024. The completed application should be sent as a single PDF to Ms. Natalie Schweninger (schweningern@upmc.edu).
Eligibility
Only participants in good standing of the KARAT program, who have completed their first year of mentored training, are eligible to apply for this mechanism of Catalytic Grant funding.
Review Process
Grants will be reviewed by the KARAT Leadership Council under direction of Dr. Oliver Eickelberg. Those applicants awarded KARAT Catalytic Grant support are expected to present on a Department-wide symposium after completion of their studies.
Please direct any inquiries to Ms. Natalie Schweninger (schweningern@upmc.edu).
