• Program Description

  The Allen Distinguished Investigator (ADI) Program seeks to create a cohort of investigators to pursue new, pioneering research in academic settings that, collectively, ‘move the needle’ towards answering broad scientific questions. The most promising proposals will incorporate creative, ambitious, interdisciplinary and forward-thinking approaches. For this reason, the program is especially interested in proposals that are unlikely to receive funding from traditional governmental sources.
  
  The 2012 request for proposals (RFP) focuses on two fundamental biology topics:

  1. Cellular Decision Making: We seek proposals whose focus is on new research approaches to understand the fundamental principles underlying cellular decision-making.
  2. Modeling Dynamic Biological Systems: We seek proposals whose focus is on modeling dynamic biological systems, specifically the development and discovery of approaches for more sophisticated treatments of modularity and complexity in order to make progress towards characterizing biological network connectivity and functionality.
  
  The grant period will be three years in the amount of up to $1.5 million for the grant period.
  
  This opportunity is subject to an internal competition managed by the UW-Madison Graduate School. Notice of intent is due to the Graduate School by Aug. 17, 2012 and applications for the internal competition are due Aug. 27, 2012. For projects selected from the internal competition, full proposals are due Oct. 30, 2012.
