Grants for Research and School Partnerships (GRASP)
A key goal of the institutional strategic plan for research, endorsed by the LLU Board of Trustees, is to expand the population of faculty involved in extramurally funded research. One mechanism for meeting that objective is to encourage faculty from different backgrounds and capabilities to collaborate in the design of innovative, interdisciplinary research proposals.
Research Affairs is pleased to announce the Request for Application for the 2015 Grants for Research and School Partnerships (GRASP) program. These awards will provide support for new investigators from different schools to cooperate in pioneering research projects. The intent of the GRASP awards is to create a training ground for collaborative partnerships that will have the capability to apply for new extramural grant applications. More information can be found on the GRASP page.

Grants to Promote Collaborative and Translational Research (GCAT)
The Office of the Associate Dean of Basic Science and Translational Research is pleased to announce the fourth annual administration of Grants to Promote Collaborative and Translational Research (GCAT). These grants are designed for teams of basic and clinical scientists, who will work together to develop insights and approaches to clinically-relevant issues that have the potential to make a difference in the lives of patients. In addition, these awards will promote collaborations between clinical and basic scientists within the School of Medicine, and allow the awardees to obtain preliminary data that will help them compete successfully for external funding. Funds from the School of Medicine are to be matched 1:1 by the clinical department, for a total award of up to $75,000 to be spent over a two-year funding period.
