• Program Description

  The Soy Health Research Program, sponsored by the United Soybean Board (USB), is once again providing incentive awards to investigators who develop the best research concepts on soy and human health.
  
  Researchers from across the country are invited to apply for awards for grant proposals on soy and human health for eventual submission to NIH. Again this year: The top scoring applicant will receive a $25,000 incentive award, with additional awards to be made to other high scoring applicants.
  
  This is the 13th year that the incentive awards have been offered. In addition to welcoming proposals on soy protein, isoflavones, and other constituents, funds have been earmarked for at least two proposals on soybean oil and human health. If oil proposals of high merit are not received, the earmarked funds will be used for other types of proposals.
  
  A simplified application process has been developed that includes an official Application Cover Form and a four page narrative of the research proposed.
  
  Applications to the program are due by March 15, 2013. Selected applicants will then be required to submit full grant proposals to NIH to meet the June or October NIH deadlines.
  
  Applicants to SHRP should meet the following requirements:

  • Must be a qualified investigator at a legitimate institution based in the USA.
  • Proposed research must require an annual budget of at least $150,000 in direct costs for at least three years. (See Application Instructions for details.)
  • Proposed research must be new and innovative and lead to greater understanding of how soy can affect human health.
  • Applications must include an official Application Cover Form and a four page narrative, plus a bio sketch of PI and a Resources page.
  2013 application materials are not available on the program website. For more information or application materials, please email lorip@communiqueinc.com .
