New Investigator Program

The New Investigator Program helps promising young researchers take innovative approaches to improving health in Wisconsin.

 

Three proposals were funded through this program in 2011. The Wisconsin Partnership Program Education and Research Committee expects to fund a similar number of creative research and education proposals from the basic, clinical and population health sciences in 2012.

 

Grant Awards: New Investigator Program grants are worth up to $100,000 and may last for up to two years.

 

Applicant Eligibility: The New Investigator Program supports the development of innovative research and educational approaches from tenure-track, clinical health sciences (CHS) and clinician-teacher (CT) assistant professors at the UW School of Medicine and Public Health.

 

Tenure track assistant professors must have a formal start date on/after January 1, 2008. CHS and CT assistant professors must have a formal start date on/after January 1, 2006. Please direct any questions about eligibility to the Wisconsin Partnership Program at wpp@hslc.wisc.edu.

 

Application Process: The application process is entirely web-based. A preliminary application is required prior to submission of a full application. Preliminary applications will be screened for eligibility and viability. Applicants who qualify will be invited to submit a full application. Finalists will be interviewed by the WPPERC.

 

Information Session Webcast: An information session webcast for potential applicants is available. Others working with faculty on developing an application are also encouraged to view the webcast.
