New Investigator Program

The goal of the Wisconsin Partnership Program's New Investigator Program is to support innovative approaches leading to improvements in health.

The Medical Education and Research Committee (MERC) seeks creative research and education proposals that span the spectrum of basic science, clinical science, or population health science.

University of Wisconsin School of Medicine and Public Health clinician-teacher, clinical health sciences (CHS) and tenure track assistant professors who did not reach the beginning of the terminal year of their appointment as of Jan. 1, 2009 are eligible to apply to this program.

In addition, assistant professors from other UW-Madison schools and colleges who have a joint or affiliate appointment in the UW School of Medicine and Public Health, and who did not reach the beginning of the terminal year of their appointment as of Jan. 1, 2009 are eligible.
