Característiques principals
The Collaborative Pairs program will be a two-phase process:
Phase 1 of the Collaborative Pairs grants RFA will provide seed funds for new interdisciplinary
collaborations involving a pair of investigators and their labs to pursue a pilot project
towards addressing a critical gap in the field. The purpose of the phase 1 Pilot Project Award is to give the collaborating teams the freedom to
explore new, out-of-the-box, potentially transformative ideas. We are looking for teams and
proposals that are addressing a critical problem and doing so in a bold, innovative way.
In Phase 2, Collaborative Pairs teams that received pilot project funding and have successfully
progressed their project will be eligible to apply for an acceleration grant award of $400,000 total
costs/year/pair for four years ($1.6 million total) to build on the work done in the pilot phase, for
a total of $1.8 million over five-and-a-half years for the entirety of the project
