The Chancellor's Discovery Program, developed by the Chancellor's Science Advisory Council, promotes new opportunities for innovative research projects at Duke Medicine that can lead to long-term externally funded research support.
The Discovery Program will fund five one-year awards of $75,000 in 2015 to initiate support for exciting new research projects led by regular-rank faculty members, at the rank of assistant professor of higher, with primary appointments in basic or clinical departments of the Duke Schools of Medicine and Nursing.
Every applicant is required to provide clear documentation that the project represents a new, unfunded line of investigation and every submission must convey the innovative nature and likely impact of the project and clearly explain how this level of funding will be used to support the subsequent application for major research funding.
[box type="info"]The submission deadline for this round is 11:59 pm, Nov. 24, 2014 , with funding to begin in February 2015.[/box]
