Overview
Please note that this Request for Applications has been paused until further notice.
The Mentored Health Outcomes Research (MHOR) Pilot Award supports research proposals that aim to mitigate health differences across our communities. Track 1 is designed for UW-Madison postdoctoral scholars, and Track 2 is intended for assistant professors. Successful applicants will provide clear logic as to how the pilot will support a longitudinal research trajectory by 1) addressing a research career development need, and 2) generating preliminary data for a subsequent larger, extramural grant.
This award is intended to support projects that provide mentored research partnerships between a UW-Madison Postdoctoral Scholar (Track 1) or an Assistant Professor (Track 2) and an appropriately experienced and engaged faculty mentor. Examples of meaningful engagement include (but are not limited to):
- Dedicated, regularly scheduled meetings between mentor and mentee
- Active guidance on relevant research methods, procedures, and policies
- Co-attendance at ICTR’s New Award meeting
- Assistance in navigating research administrative tasks, such as IRB approval, hiring, progress reporting, and financial responsibilities
- Guidance in selecting ICTR and UW resources and services
- Guidance in contacting extramural program officers and planning for the next proposal
Please acknowledge the Wisconsin Partnership Program as the funding source in any press releases, articles or publications relating to your project or its results. Find the most up to date language on the funding support page.
