Description
This internal funding opportunity from the University of Iowa Carver College of Medicine is designed to help faculty strengthen the competitiveness of their NIH R01 or equivalent proposals that have received high scores but fell short of funding. The supplement provides up to $25,000 to address 1-2 well-defined, reviewer-identified weaknesses—typically within the experimental approach or feasibility. The intention is to support focused experiments, new reagents, or innovative techniques that directly address these weaknesses and improve the likelihood of success upon resubmission.
