Department of Medicine Sample Funded Proposals

Several members of the Department of Medicine (DOM) faculty have graciously agreed to make available copies of funded grant applications, as examples of successful proposals.  These files will be made available to DOM faculty members who plan submit similar types of grants (R01, K08, etc.) to assist them in understanding how to structure a good proposal, as well as providing boilerplate language on resources, facilities, etc.

Some information that the Principal Investigator feels uncomfortable releasing will be removed prior to distribution, as will all individual salaries.  Some investigators have also requested that these proposals not be released, without their express permission, to faculty with potentially-overlapping research interests and objectives.

To obtain any of the following proposals, please contact Lori Palfalvi.

Please note that these sample proposals are only available to Department of Medicine faculty in Northwestern University's Feinberg School of Medicine.
