As a result, only proposals with a strong scientific potential and significance, which clearly articulate a path forward towards assembling a strong team and a cohesive theme, will be considered. Since multi-investigator proposals will require teams with investigators at different career stages, the submitting team must consist of at least two GT investigators, one of which must be associated with SMI, and that have different academic rank (Assistant, Associate or Full Professor).\u003C\/p\u003E\r\n\r\n\u003Cp\u003EProposals should include a Project Summary of no more than 250 words and a Project Description that should not exceed two pages. Emphasis will be placed on proposals that clearly articulate why the research is new and important and how it can lead to the assembly of a larger team and the eventual development of a multi-investigator proposal. We anticipate a total of two seed grants. A separate one-page budget, not to exceed $15,000, should also be provided.
