Thrasher Research Fund - E.W. “Al” Thrasher Award
Deadline: July 20, 2021
Amount: The grant amount is based on the actual budgetary needs of the project. The duration of the project can be up to three years. Indirect costs of no more than 7% of direct costs will be paid on E.W. "Al" Thrasher Awards. In 2012-2016 the median grant was $320,000 (total, not annually).
Purpose
Ideal applications for the E.W. "Al" Thrasher Award address significant health problems that affect children in large numbers or that have severe outcomes, offering the potential for practical solutions to these problems. Such solutions should be innovative and have the potential for broad applicability with low financial and/or technical barriers to implementation. Hypothesis-driven research is preferred over exploratory, hypothesis-generating research. Projects with a shorter distance to clinical applicability are given priority.
Eligibility
Principal Investigators must be qualified in terms of education and experience to conduct research. A doctoral-level degree is required. There are no citizenship or residency requirements. The Fund is open to applications from institutions both inside and outside the United States.
