  The Hartwell Foundation Individual Biomedical Research Award will provide financial support to stimulate discovery in early-stage biomedical research that will benefit children.
  
  The University of Wisconsin-Madison has been selected as one of the 10 research institutions to compete for this award. The Hartwell Foundation requires each selected research institution to hold an internal open competition to identify four nominees, based upon application requirements set forth by the Foundation.
  
  Proposals should be from appropriate areas of basic and applied life sciences, principally limited to medicine and biomedical engineering, and consistent with the values of the Hartwell Foundation. Proposals should reflect relevance in terms of potential benefits to children. The Foundation will only consider proposals in biomedical research. The Foundation will not consider, for example, research in social science, psychology, ecology, environmental impacts, anthropology, or botany.
  

  • Proposals must describe early-stage, innovative, and cutting-edge biomedical research that will benefit children.
  • The research proposed may not have had significant funding from outside sources.
  • Proposals should be based on sound science and should "make a difference".
  • The applicant should discuss thoroughly the ideas of innovation, collaboration, the deployment of technology to address the problem, and the significance or outcomes of the proposed research.
  • Awards are $100K/year for 3 years (NO INDIRECT COSTS)
  • All recipients MUST be US citizens who hold a full-time appointment and be able to serve as PI.
  For review committee purposes, faculty must notify Tracy Cabot in the School of Medicine and Public Health of their intent to submit proposals for this internal competition by Wednesday, August 8, 2012. The deadline for full proposals for this internal competition is Noon on Tuesday, August 21, 2012.
