Team Science Grant Applications due February 15, 2025
The Team Science grant, developed by the Division of Research and Innovation (DRI) working with the President’s Research Council (PRC) and the DRI Research Advisory Committee (RAC), will provide developmental support for a project or program that will result in a competitive and fundable grant application to an external funding agency that provides significant direct and indirect funding. The proposal will be evaluated based on the merit of the scientific idea and the strength and synergy of the proposed team. Awards are for a two-year, non-renewable period.

This program has the HSC values of Collaboration and Be Visionary as its underpinnings, with two opportunity pathways:
- Collaboration among team members to develop a project requiring interdisciplinary skills and approaches that are essential to exploring and/or developing a novel approach and solution to an existing problem within a defined area of strategic research interest to HSC. The current Research Areas of Strength at HSC, among many, include:
- Cardiovascular Research
- Genetics/Genomics
- Health Disparities / Population Health
- Prevention of Substance Use and Related Risk Behaviors
- Neurodegenerative Disease, primarily Alzheimer’s Disease
- Vision Research
Projects within this pathway would involve investigators with different types of expertise addressing the same problem from different scientific perspectives. This can include investigators from other UNT Campuses or hospital that have an MOU that establishes a formal collaborative relationship.
Requirements include:
- A faculty member can be a principal investigator (PI) on only one application per year,
- Existing faculty member and/or unit (department or college / school) discretionary funds must be committed to the endeavor. Where possible, a significant unit or investigator match is expected as a demonstration of unit investment and commitment to the project,
- To participate in this program, the PI(s) must be full-time regular HSC or UNT Denton faculty member(s). Co-Investigators (Co-Is) may be in any faculty category. Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, staff, and part time faculty are not eligible to serve as PIs or Co-Is.
