Faculty Pilot Grant Program
The ECIC coordinates a multi-disciplinary Faculty Pilot Grant Program to facilitate and promote innovation, preliminary and interdisciplinary research activities to yield future high-impact injury prevention research. The 4 categories of grants are designed to provide incentives and support for researchers to work collaboratively with interdisciplinary teams and community members on projects that can lead to larger grant proposals related to violence and injury prevention or that support the preparation of a larger grant proposal. Specifically, the ECIC offers one year grants in the following categories:
- Pilot Grants
- Translation Research Grants
- Community-based Research or Capacity-building Grants
- Cooperative Grant
National Center for Injury Prevention & Control Priority Areas
Applications that focus on translation research or that feature community-researcher partnerships are particularly welcome. Each year applications will be due by November 15th for a funding period of one year (February – January). For more details or to apply, download the grant application.
