Next Generation Grants

Next Generation Awards support postdoctoral fellows at SD CFAR member institutions, including those funded through T32, D43, and R25 mechanisms. Eligible applicants must be actively preparing to submit a Career Development Award (CDA). These grants, up to a maximum of $10,000, are intended to support specific projects designed to generate preliminary data that will strengthen planned CDA applications. The funding period is one year from the date of award. 

Applications are now accepted on a rolling basis until the annual funding allocation is exhausted, after which new awards will be paused until the start of the next SD CFAR fiscal year—so early submission is strongly encouraged.

Requirements

Applicants must include a planned date of submission of CDA, and the planned CDA mentor must provide a letter of support within the application.

Restrictions
