Innovative Research Program
KIBM is now in our seventh year of granting awards for innovative research, especially research focused on ideas that bridge brain and mind organization levels, with the goal of stimulating testing hypotheses for which no standard funding stream is available. Preference is given to collaborative proposals, those representing several disciplines and/or laboratories and for projects that catalyze new collaborative research. Another goal of this program is to generate preliminary data leading to new grant funding from other agencies.
We have made as many awards as possible each year for amounts generally around $30,000 each. We are proud of our seven-year record: 69 grants totaling over $2 million awarded to 224 investigators at UCSD, the Salk Institute for Biological Studies, the Neurosciences Institute, and the Scripps Research Institute.
