What kind of work does an Ignite Interdisciplinary Grant support?
This grant is our most traditional seed grant. It supports interdisciplinary projects between 2 or more WashU researchers with primary appointments in 2 or more schools. This program is particularly interested in novel collaborations between disciplines that do not often collaborate in an effort to break down traditional siloes. Thus, having 2 co-PIs from two separate schools is the minimum basis for eligibility, the work itself must also be explained as inter- or multi-disciplinary and it must be clear how all co-PIs are necessary to completing the proposed project.
I have already had an Ignite Interdisciplinary Grant, can I apply again?
You may, but not for the same project. Additionally, your previous Ignite grant must be from a previous academic/fiscal year than the current one. Please also seen the general eligibility requirements regarding previous award reporting; all previous Here and Next Seed Grant award reporting must be complete and current for all projects on which you were a PI.
