Background
The Burroughs Wellcome Fund identified Innovation in Regulatory Science as an important, underfunded area and with this initiative has chosen to provide financial support to stimulate research efforts in this area.
Opportunity
Innovation in Regulatory Science Awards provide support to academic investigators who are addressing research questions that will lead to innovation in regulatory science, with ultimate translation of those results into improving the regulatory process.
This initiative of the Burroughs Wellcome Fund is focused on providing support for academic researchers developing new methodologies or innovative approaches in regulatory science that will ultimately inform the regulatory decisions FDA and others make. This would necessarily draw upon the talents of individuals trained in mathematics, computer science, applied physics, medicine, engineering, toxicology, epidemiology, biostatistics, and systems pharmacology, to name a few.
Funding Available
- Up to $500,000 USD over 5 years
- Indirect costs may not be charged against BWF grants
- No more than $30,000 USD of the award may be used annually for the primary investigator’s and/or any co-investigator’s salary support, including fringe benefits.
