Kennedy Institute offers $500k in seed grants

The Ken Kennedy Institute for Information Technology is offering up to $500,000 in seed grants to Rice researchers under a program called Collaborative Advances in Biomedical Computing. Funding for the program is made possible by the John and Ann Doerr Fund for Computational Biomedicine.

The goal, according to the program summary, is to encourage and support new projects that bridge computing and information technology research at Rice and biomedical research in the Texas Medical Center (TMC). Each research proposal must include at least one collaborator from a TMC institution besides Rice. Additional funding from TMC partner institutions is encouraged and investigators should contact their respective home institutions during the process of preparing the proposal.

Proposals must be submitted electronically by 5 p.m. May 4. Details and the submission form can be found at http://k2i.rice.edu/events//cabc2009/.
