Pilot Grant Program

 2018 pilot grant program announcement

Pilot research grant proposals must be received no later than March 9, 2018

The UI IPRC pilot program has been very successful in leading to larger projects and launching careers of investigators.” – UI IPRC Deputy Director Lisa Roth

Since 1993, the UI IPRC has administered a successful Pilot Grant Program that encourages new injury control research projects that help shape the future of the field, as well as the center (See list of current and prior UI IPRC pilot grant awards). Typical Pilot Grant Program awards are up to $22,500 for one-year projects.

The UI IPRC is particularly interested in interdisciplinary pilot projects which concern injuries in rural contexts. However all injury prevention and control projects are considered. Priority is given to pilot proposals that hold the greatest potential for leading to a larger research proposal.

Specific aims of the UI IPRC Pilot Grant program are to:

  • Identify and support new areas of injury control research that compliment and strengthen our center’s mission
  • Provide initial support for young investigators or those new to the field of injury control, to help them reach their injury control research objectives
  • Encourage investigators from other disciplines to apply their expertise to the field of injury control

In addition to project funds, investigators have access to databases and center core resources such as biostatistical consulting. Investigators also meet with the Center’s Executive Committee to get feedback and input along the way.

For more information on the UI IPRC Pilot Grant Program please contact UI IPRC Deputy Director Lisa Roth.
