Team Science Grants are a unique opportunity providing support for individuals working together as a team to develop a funding proposal to submit for extramural support (NIH or equivalent).

Applications are due by 5PM June 2, 2025

This seed money is meant to assist with preliminary data collection and team activities as you prepare your proposal for submission. The award provides up to $10,000 and includes sessions with our Team Science coach who will present and facilitate evidence-based practice for functional teams and successful collaboration methods throughout the award period.

The Team Science Pilot Program application must include at least two Principal Investigators working together on a project they plan to collaborate on and submit together. Ideally, the PIs must be experts in different scientific disciplines who will collaborate to advance translational research.

Eligible Applicants:

• One PI must be an Assistant Professor or mid-career/senior investigator, and PIs should be experts in different scientific disciplines.
• One PI should be designated as the contact PI and will be responsible for financial and regulatory management of the award.
• Fellows and Post-Doctoral associates are not eligible to serve as PIs but are eligible to serve as co-investigators on the team.
• Prior recipients of Team Science grant funding from UTSW are not eligible for this award.
