Description
The Focused Grant Revision Supplement Opportunity is a competitive internal funding program at the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine. It is designed to help faculty whose NIH R01 (or equivalent) proposals received strong scores but fell just short of the funding line. The supplement provides up to $25,000 to address 1–2 discrete, score-driving weaknesses identified in the summary statement from the NIH review. The intent is to enable focused experiments, develop new reagents, or adopt innovative techniques that directly respond to reviewer concerns, thereby strengthening the likelihood of success upon resubmission.
