Description
The Focused Grant Revision Supplement Opportunity is an internal funding initiative offered by the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. Its purpose is to help faculty investigators overcome specific, well-defined weaknesses identified in prior reviews of high-scoring NIH R01 (or equivalent) proposals. The supplement provides up to $25,000 for targeted experiments or proof-of-principle work that directly addresses 1–2 critical issues highlighted in the summary statement, with the goal of crossing the funding threshold on resubmission.
