This year we are offering:
- 2 Research Seed Grants of $30,000 each
Applicants at all stages of career are eligible for this grant as long as it is mentored by an ISS member. Applicants should describe the nature of the proposed research within the context of their current scholarly activity. Greater emphasis will be placed on efforts that serve as preliminary data for larger funding mechanisms, and are a part of a strategic career development plan.
No restrictions on the nature of research projects are imposed. Any project proposing human subjects or animals requiring IRB or IACUC approval respectively, should acknowledge this requirement and include a proposed timeline for said approval.
Multidisciplinary grants are encouraged.

Projects can be proposed by residents, fellows or attendings within 5 years of completion of their residency or fellowship.
