The Brigham Research Institute (BRI) has made funds available in FY18 to support projects/activities aligned with the BRI’s mission through the BRI Director’s $500K Transformative Award.  Funds will be awarded on a competitive basis.  Applications will be evaluated and prioritized on the basis of a strategic and scientific review by an internal faculty Review Committee and BRI leadership. The final selection round will be a live review session with the BWH Scientific Advisory Board. $500,000 is available to this RFA; requests for up to $500K will be considered.

Letters of intent (due May 9, 2018) will be reviewed and a subset of applicants will be invited in June 2018 to submit full applications due Aug 7th, 2018; monies are expected to be made available on December 3rd 2018.  The BRI anticipates funding one project, however, there will be no obligation to spend any or all of the funds and projects may be partially funded.
