Summary
Several annual grant programs offer support to eligible individuals and institutions across the United States. One opportunity provides up to $300,000 over two years, aimed at early‑career investigators working in clinical or translational research settings. This funding is intended to help build the skills and preliminary data needed to apply for larger independent grants in the future. Eligible recipients are physician‑investigators who completed training within the past decade and are based at U.S. institutions.
Another funding path offers $100,000 over two years targeted at academic faculty who wish to develop or evaluate new approaches to medical education or training. This grant is open to faculty of any rank, and supports projects that improve learning methods, training curricula, or educational tools — an ideal fit for those focused on teaching and professional development rather than bench or clinical research.
For trainees earlier in their careers — residents or fellows — there is a one‑year grant worth $75,000 to support research training. This option helps individuals gain exposure to research methods and build foundational skills in areas such as clinical research, translational work, health‑services research, or educational research.
In addition, co‑sponsored grants for specialized fields (e.g., pediatric or obstetric research) provide funding in the range of $250,000–$300,000 over two years, intended to foster emerging investigators in those sub‑specialties. These are awarded to sponsoring institutions of qualified applicants, and are designed to support projects that address key challenges and knowledge gaps in specialized care (child health, maternal health, patient safety, etc.).
Each of these grant opportunities is designed to support creative, meaningful research or educational projects, whether at small institutions or larger academic centers. Eligible recipients typically are individuals (residents, fellows, faculty) — though institutional sponsorship is required for some — and the grants are available nationwide. Use of funds may support personnel effort, research activities, data collection, educational innovation, and related project costs.
If you are located in Kentucky and working in the area of Higher Education, this funding opportunity may be a good fit. For more relevant grant options that support your work and priorities, visit The Grant Portal and use the Search Grant tool to find opportunities.
