Applicants who wish their proposals to be considered for submission to the Program need to forward the Vice Chancellor for Research a 2-3 page preliminary proposal, proposed, budget and a brief curriculum vitae by the above date. An ad hoc committee of the Council on Research, Computing and Library Resources will meet in collaboration with UCI's representative to the Program's Executive Committee to select three proposals for submission to the Program. The selected candidates will be notified in ample time to prepare the complete proposal and obtain appropriate approvals by the October 29 deadline. Barbara Kelly in the Office of Research and Graduate Studies will coordinate the ad hoc review process with the Council on Research, Computing and Library Resources, and can be reached at x5085 should you need any further information or assistance. Under this component, there is no limit on the number of proposals the campus may submit.
Awards are generally limited to seed funding.
Trainees for research projects include graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. Topics related to biotechnology are appropriate and include the fields of science, engineering, social sciences, humanities, business administration, public policy, and education. Proposals for this particular program may be submitted in letter form to the Director at any time, but must be received in reviewable form no later than three months prior to the proposed activity. Please see the web announcement for format and content detail. For additional information on any of the above programs, I encourage you to contact Professor Donald Senear, who represents UCI on the UC Biotechnology Research and Training Program Executive Committee.
