Description
The Collaborative Multidisciplinary Team Grants, offered by the University of Notre Dame's Bioengineering and Life Sciences Initiative (BELS), are internal awards designed to catalyze collaborative research among faculty teams. These grants target significant problems within the Initiative's three research themes—Health Foundations, Health Technologies, and Health Equities—and seven project areas, or closely related topics. The program aims to foster innovative, cross-disciplinary research that advances human health and wellness by leveraging the diverse expertise at Notre Dame. Teams are expected to pursue projects with potential for large-scale, externally funded follow-on support, including center grants.
