DentAlliance Research Seed fund for Junior PIs: deadline 31st October 2024

The DentAlliance is pleased to announce the first round of the Cross-Instititute Research Seed fund. This fund is to encourage research interactions across DentAlliance.

Dentalliance has established a research seed fund to pump-prime innovative cross-Institute projects that will deliver long-term benefits.

Applications should involve 3 members of Dentalliance (King’s College London, Singapore, North Carolina Chapel Hill, Melbourne).

Maximum funding for individual bids is $5,000 USD per Institute (to a maximum total of $15,000 USD). Costs must be clearly justified.

Bids are invited from eligible PIs from across the Dentalliance to support innovative new discovery science/translational/clinical research.

PI eligibility: The seed fund is aimed at supporting Early Career Researchers (ECRs).

All applicants should be within 5 years of their first academic appointment, or within 5 years since completing their PhD, whichever is greater.

Read through the guidelines here carefully before you apply to check that you and your co-applicants meet the eligibility criteria.

Application form is available here.

This is a great opportunity for international interactions supporting our junior faculty. 

To help you identify PIs in the other Institutes have a look at the Research Interest database on the Dentalliance website: https://www.dent-alliance.com/continuing-professional-engagement-copy

The database is currently being revamped but the current list should give you an idea of who to contact.

For future reference the final report is available here.

Deadline for applications is the 31st October 2024.
