1. Investigator Program
The purpose of this program is to foster cross-campus, interdisciplinary teams of researchers who explore, create, and test bold new concepts and technologies using innovative neuroscientific approaches to study and treat neurological and psychiatric diseases. Funding supports new small-group explorations of novel projects with transformational potential. This program is open to teams of investigators from UCSF, UC Berkeley, UW, the National Labs, and/or Partners of Weill Neurohub. Teams must feature members from all three universities, UC Berkeley, UCSF and UW. This program will fund up to $500k/year/team for two years, with the possibility of one additional year. A brief annual progress report is required for continuation of the project. Reports will be collected as part of an annual overall program report.
2. Next Great Ideas Fund
This program supports high-risk, high-reward research projects in neuroscience, neuroengineering, psychiatry, and neurology, with an emphasis on proposals that require cross-campus collaboration to succeed. Funding is open to interdisciplinary teams of two or more researchers from UCSF, UC Berkeley, UW, the National Labs, and/or Partners of Weill Neurohub. Teams must feature cross-institutional collaborations, representing at least two of the three universities (UC Berkeley, UCSF, and UW).
This program will fund up to $250k/team per project, with funding expendable over a duration of up to two years. A brief annual progress report is required for continuation of the project. Reports will be collected as part of an annual overall program report.
3. Fellowship Award
The Weill Neurohub Fellows Program seeks to advance the next generation of innovators and help launch their careers as independent researchers. Fellows are provided funding with which to train with experts on the UC Berkeley, UCSF, and UW campuses. Fellows will interact regularly and will become key members of a collaborative and growth-focused research environment across the three Weill Neurohub campuses, and will have the opportunity to receive mentorship from more than one institution and to interact with Weill Neurohub partner organizations where research interests align
Eligibility Requirements

Inquiries and Contact Information
Investigators who identify a grant, award or fellowship program that restricts the number of applications that can be submitted from an Institution should immediately contact their Chairperson, Associate Dean for Research (or Dean, if no ADR) and the Office of Research (see below) if they intend to prepare a response. Failure to do so, or to meet the deadlines for submission of pre-proposal, will preclude submission of the application through the Office of Sponsored Programs.
For general inquiries, or to request a listing of a limited submission opportunity that should be but is not already listed, please email us at limitedsubs@uw.edu.
