Summary: Supports targeted revisions to address specific reviewer-identified weaknesses in NIH R01 (or equivalent) proposals for UI Carver College of Medicine faculty.
The Focused Grant Revision Supplement Opportunity is an internal funding initiative from the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. It is designed to help faculty members address discrete, score-driving weaknesses identified in highly rated but unfunded NIH R01 (or equivalent) proposals. The program provides up to $25,000 to support focused proof-of-principle experiments or methodological improvements that directly respond to reviewer concerns, with the goal of strengthening resubmissions and increasing the likelihood of NIH funding. This supplement is not intended for broad exploratory research or to expand the scope of the original proposal.
