Development Office Funding Opportunities

Eligibility:
•Eligible applicants include PhD candidates (preliminary exams completed) and medical professional students (to support a one-year hiatus from professional training to pursue research), and post-doctoral fellows (within 3 years of PhD or clinical degree).

oMedical professional training programs and clinical degrees include the following training programs and degrees: DDS, DO, DVM, MD, VMD and equivalents.

•Fellow applicants must have a principal mentor who satisfies the institutional requirements of a PI as defined above under the Research Tier I and II Grants heading.

About: The Fellow-Initiated application will, in most cases, address a Tier II level question. In rare cases the research may approach Tier I level research in scope. Research interests include:

•Discrete studies or deliverables involving drug repurposing, models, etc.
•Research needs designed to make possible a significant and new research grant
•Research needs designed to improve a significant research grant resubmission
•Analysis of previously compiled data or research resources
•Pre-clinical extension to an alternate syndrome of a previously validated therapy

Amount: $100,000 over 1-2 years

• Opportunity for competitive renewal

About:The mission of Weiss Asset Management Foundation is to reduce human suffering globally. With an Allocation Committee composed of development economists and practitioners, we support evidence-based, cost-effective programs and research that we believe will yield a high, risk-adjusted social return on investment.
Examples of prior grants include support for evidence-based nutrition programming for children suffering from severe acute malnutrition, policy-oriented research to reduce barriers to vaccination programs, and technical assistance for government water-purification efforts.
We welcome all proposals related to our goal of reducing human suffering globally. We expect most grants to fall into the following two categories:

Project-based Support: We support work for specific initiatives.

•Research with high potential for impact on policy or programs
•Technical assistance
•Operational innovations and experiments for unique programmatic opportunities; and
•Support for proven, cost-effective programs that face funding gaps
•Note: For research proposals, we prioritize rigorous causal identification, data science for targeting, and important monitoring or descriptive work that could lead to action. We deprioritize simple correlations or purely qualitative work.

•General Support: We also provide general support for highly cost-effective organizations or programs.
