Intramural Grants Program (IGP) Overview

 

The expanded Intramural Grants Program (IGP) provides opportunities for faculty members of all ranks and levels of experience as researchers to obtain funding to help compete successfully for major research funding from external sponsors.  All applications are evaluated on the: 1) scientific merit of the proposed studies; 2) specificity and likelihood of success of the plans for seeking extramural funding; 3) contribution of the proposed research to the goals of the specific external funding program under which support will be requested; and 4) contribution of the research to targeted areas of strength at the MCG. 

 

It is the Principal Investigator's responsibility to obtain all of the necessary signatures on the Routing Sheet, Face Page, and Department Chairs Evaluation and Report Form.  Completed applications (one original and five copies including signed Routing Sheet, Face Page, and Department Chairs Evaluation and Report Form) must be submitted to the Division of Sponsored Program Administration (DSPA) by 5 p.m. on the submission deadline date.  Do not staple or otherwise bind the original application. Use rubber bands or clips. Assemble the pages in the order specified in the table of contents. If a faculty member from a different department than the PI is listed in the proposal as a Co-Principal Investigator or Co-Investigator, his/her Department Chair, Center/Institute Director and Dean signatures are also needed.   If the budget includes MCG Health Inc. resources (personnel, facilities, services, etc.) then MCGHI's signature is required at the time of submission, which will require your proposal to be routed to the Office of Clinical Investigative Services (OCIS). 

 

SCHOOL OF MEDICINE FACULTY:  The School of Medicine has determined that all of its clinical research studies requiring IRB approval must go through OCIS Research Review Service.  This must be done prior to the intramural grants program deadline.  For details, here is a hyperlink to OCIS's homepage that includes information about the review process:  http://www.mcg.edu/OCIS/review.htm. 

 

Again, please be sure to start the routing process early enough in advance.  No exceptions will be made for late or incomplete applications.
