Stanford Pediatric IBD and Celiac Disease Research Program Seed Grants
LETTER OF INTENT DEADLINE: Wednesday, November 18, 2020 - 5:00 PM PST
**DEADLINE EXTENDED**
The Stanford Pediatric Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) and Celiac Disease Research Awards Program aims to spark innovative and transdisciplinary research and develop new treatments to improve the lives of all children with IBD and celiac disease for generations to come. Through this mechanism we can harness the expertise of scientists already in place across Stanford and pivot their work toward pediatric disease and push research in novel directions to benefit children. The research awards will help fuel early-stage, high-risk, high-reward projects not yet ready for NIH or other government funding.
A multi-PI approach is strongly encouraged for this initiative where at least two of the lead investigators are from different disciplines. Collaborations between basic and physician scientists are particularly encouraged. Single-PI applications will be considered if the scientific rationale is compelling. Proposals should demonstrate a clear potential for the research to generate robust preliminary data for future applications to external funding agencies
The awards will provide up to 2 years of funding to support a wide range of scientific approaches with the potential to advance our understanding of pediatric IBD and celiac disease in the following areas including but not limited to:
- Basic and clinical translational research, metabolics, biomedical informatics, chemical and systems biology, computer science and engineering.
