The Foundation is most interested in basic research with upstream potential for impacting disease.
No clinical research can be considered.
The intent of the sponsor is to provide initial start-up funding to support highly promising young investigators [assistant professors] at the time when start-up funds are limited
It is not the intent to support projects that are already under way and are already receiving significant grant support to provide long-range funding beyond an initial 3-year period of support.
Purpose:
The Foundation has very broad interest in "advancing knowledge in the various fields of medical and health research." Applications can therefore come from any department in the Medical School. Mallinckrodt is most interested in basic research with upstream potential for impacting disease. No clinical research.

Selection process
Your proposals will be distributed to Dr. Peter Sarnow and the School of Medicine Awards committee members. They will select the top two applicants to represent the School of Medicine. The Foundation Relations staff in the Office of Medical Development will work with the final applicants in preparing their lay summaries for the Foundation. The finalist applicants' Research Process Managers (RPMs) will assist with the preparation of the budget and the SU-42 (no budgets or SU-42 forms are required for the internal selection process.). The application deadline is Feb. 1, 2010.
Terms
Grants may be made for periods of one to three years and are contingent upon a yearly progress report by the applicant submitted via email. Applicants may be requested to appear before the Foundation for an interview. Travel expenses will be reimbursed.
The final applicants will be asked to submit, per the guidelines " an adequate budget with a breakdown as to how the funds will be used. In addition, the proposal must give the details of any grant support already available or pending. It is particularly important to justify the budget as to how the funds to be received will be used to advance the unique problem under study in a way that cannot be done with existing funds. "
"The final proposal must be accompanied by letters of approval by the Dean of the medical school and/or other senior faculty member or members who can represent the support of the institution and who are acquainted with the qualifications of the applicant."
"A grant is made on the assumption that the recipient will use the funds for the purpose indicated in the applications and in the same institution. If the recipient moves to another institution during the term of the grant, payments may or may not be continued, depending upon reconsideration by the Trustees of the Foundation upon receipt of a written request and justification for transfer of funds."
"Unexpended funds will be returned to the Foundation at the end of the year for which a grant has been made, unless an extension is requested and approved by the Trustees."
