Proposals for mini grants to fund pilot projects

If you see this don't fill out this input box.

Maximum funding is $5000/investigator annually. Preference will be given to requests for collection of preliminary data for grant proposals and other projects with potentially high impact. (Mini-grants are not meant for routine or otherwise funded core use.)mIf the PI has start-up funds, a 50% match from those funds is expected.

For the purpose of the mini-grant program, a core facility is defined as a shared-use research facility with an approved schedule of charges. Invoices for completed work will be sent to PIs, who will review them and submit them to the Administrative Support Center (asc@ksu.edu) for payment.

Funding requests accepted on a rolling basis.
