Rolling Deadline: 5 pm, last business day of each month

The Dean of the Emory School of Medicine (SOM), in partnership with the Winship Cancer Institute, Emory Department of Pediatrics and Children's Healthcare of Atlanta, Emory at Grady, and the Center for AIDS Research (CFAR), is soliciting proposals for the P⁴ Pivot Program. This new pivot program is designed to provide seed funding to Principal Investigators (PIs) in the SOM who are looking to reshape their research to better align with current and emerging funding priorities at federal agencies. In this funding cycle, grants will be considered for:

P⁴ Fast Track Awards: This RFA is only for proposals from principal investigators whose funding has been terminated at this time due to changes in federal funding priorities and who need to pivot their research programs to new areas of research and funding opportunities. This program will evaluate and fund new projects with an emphasis on novelty, significance, and potential for successful extramural funding with this research pivot. All proposals will be evaluated by a scientific review committee, and successful applicants must enlist an Individual Advisory Council (IAC) to aid in success of the proposed work. Funding is provided by the SOM and partners above for SOM PIs.
