Outline of the research proposal

The proposal must include the following:

1. Title of the project.

2. Abstract (up to 200 words).

3. Specific aims (must not exceed one page).

4. Introduction, including review of related work (1-3 pages).

5. Methods of inquiry and analysis (2-3 pages), including how each specific aim is investigated.

6. Significance of the project (not to exceed one page).

7. Time commitment and role of the PI(s) and, if applicable, co-investigator(s).

8. Itemized budget in RO.

9. Other active research projects and funds expected or received for the same or other current research projects. You must clearly indicate if funds have been received from other sources to support the project for which you are now seeking URB funds.

10. If applicable, a list of publications that have resulted from previous URB grants in the last five years.

11. A brief curriculum vitae of the principal investigator, and co-investigator(s).

A request for renewal of a current URB grant, which was originally proposed as a multi-year project, will normally be granted after review of a detailed progress report on the project for which the grant was awarded. Renewals will not be granted for grants that were not originally proposed as multi-year projects.

A final report is required from those who received URB funding which is due six weeks after the end of the project. Further funding from URB might be contingent on receiving such a report.
