DOM Research Grant
The Department of Medicine Research Grant is intended to support early stage clinical research projects that have the potential to be competitive for external funding.
The DOM grant application form provides detailed instructions on the preparation and submission of the application. The application form follows the template of the Upstate Intramural Grant Program, and it anticipates that all applicable regulatory policies will be satisfied. The deadline for submission is May 1st, 2024.
