Grant Overview The DREAM Innovation Grant (DIG) supports innovative high-risk, and potentially high-reward investigations to accelerate anesthesia and pain management research. Research deemed innovative may introduce a new paradigm, challenge current paradigms, look at existing problems from new perspectives, or exhibit other uniquely creative qualities. The DIG promotes new ideas; therefore, proposals need not include preliminary data. However, a solid rationale for the work must be provided. Proposed work should not be the next logical step of previous work, but should have a high probability of revealing new avenues of investigation. This program aims to provide pilot funding that will lead to successful competition for additional funding beyond the pilot period. The research concept, scientific team, and explicit plans for how this work will lead to followon funding will be the primary criteria for judging. These points should be specifically addressed in the application. The principal investigator (PI) is responsible for clearly and explicitly articulating the project’s innovation and the potential impact on anesthesia and pain management research. Eligibility All faculty members of the Department of Anesthesiology at Duke are eligible to apply. One of the grants will be reserved to support a beginning scientist (within 5 years of completion of residency or fellowship) by encouraging and adequately funding projects that can contribute to bridging the gap between training and progression to independent investigator status. The other SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT DREAM Innovation Grant (DIG) award(s) will be used as a seed grant to help investigators with promising science obtain preliminary data to support follow-on funding applications. Funding A maximum of $30,000 will be awarded to each recipient. None of the funds awarded are to pay for faculty salary or overhead expenses. The number of grant recipients and grant amount will be determined by the DREAM Innovation Grant Committee after all applications have been received. Application and Deadline Applications and questions should be submitted to David S. Warner, M.D. at david.warner@duke.edu. 1. A Statement of Intent (Deadline July 28, 2011): a. Abstract (150 word max) b. Preliminary Budget (Budgets should not include salary support for a faculty, resident, or fellow) c. NIH formatted Biosketch 2.
