We Can Help with R01 Stimulus Grants

As you are probably aware, the new stimulus package contains funding for R01 grants which may be used to purchase instrumentation and software for analysis, such as Neurolucida, Stereo Investigator, AutoNeuron, Densita, and Virtual Slice.

If you plan to propose an administrative supplement for your currently funded R01 grant or submit a R01 Challenge Grant as a result of the recently signed American Recovery and Reinvestment Act on February 17, 2009, our staff scientists and technical experts are available to help you!

Time is of the essence for these stimulus grants.

The administrative supplement is a great mechanism to request instrumentation and analysis tools to speed research on currently funded R01 grants. Because this supplement does not require a full study section review, it can have a faster turn-around than the traditional grant submission process Although more comprehensive, the short-term R01 Challenge Grant requires that all funding must be spent prior to October 2010.

Our team is available to assist with each aspect of the stimulus grant submission—scientific, technical, and financial. Our neuroscientists have extensive experience successfully applying for grants and are available to help you strengthen the rationale for the inclusion of Stereo Investigator, Neurolucida, or our other hardware and software tools in your proposal. Our scientists will work closely with you to ensure your research goals are conveyed in an accurate and comprehensive proposal. Our technical sales team will provide a customized quotation to augment the proposal.

Our team is standing by to provide you with immediate assistance with your stimulus grant application to include our tools in your research.

Let us take away some of the pressure and stress of this short timeline so that you can focus on other areas of your grant or research.
