Chan Zuckerberg Initiative – Advancing Imaging Through Collaborative Projects | Research Funding
Event details
| Date | 08.09.2022 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: the Chan Zuckerberg Initiative (CZI) invites applications for new and existing collaborative projects to reduce imaging ecosystem fragmentation and accelerate the spread and adoption of technologies, methods, or training resources.
Funds can be requested in one or more of the categories below:
Funding: Project-specific (no set ceiling)
Duration: 24 months
Eligibility: Each application should have at least one Co-PI and a maximum of ten Co-PIs. The Coordinating PI must be an Imaging Scientist. A Co-PI can be at any career stage and does not need to be an Imaging Scientist. Applications are welcome from any country, but note that institutions outside the U.S. may not subcontract to U.S. institutions, so please be mindful when selecting the Coordinating PI/institution.
How to Apply: All applications must be completed and submitted through CZI’s online grants management portal. Because costs will vary by category (validation and dissemination of new imaging technologies generally requires more funds than organizing meetings and workshops), the applicant is expected to request the appropriate award amount, and no ceiling is set. In any case, EPFL budgets should include overhead of 15%. For any Questions on Organizational Details, or for the Institutional Approval Forms, please contact the Research Office.
Deadline: 23 August 2023 (5 pm PT)
Further information
Funds can be requested in one or more of the categories below:
- Validation and dissemination of new imaging technologies: Collaboration between technology developers and imaging scientists to test and validate new imaging systems and/or to adopt new imaging platforms at imaging cores.
- Building capacity: Developing frameworks (e.g. websites or coordinating organizations) that enable collaborations in the imaging community and online platforms to exchange methods, tools, and protocols.
- Training and education: Organizing in-person or online courses on imaging for biomedical researchers and train-the-trainers programs, implementing and adapting new media for training and education, and developing teaching materials or courses for researchers who are starting their careers as imaging scientists.
