For More Information
Description
Due to limited available funding, the VIP I program is near maximum capacity. Applications will only be accepted until Friday, October 12th, 2018 at 2 pm (see Deadlines section below for Internal Deadline). Additionally, in order for applications to be considered, they must reach External Review status (i.e. have completed OCE Internal Review, Revisions (if required) and signature of the Funding Agreement by the institution and partner(s)) by Friday, November 9, 2 pm. No exceptions will be made for late applications. Funding decisions for applications that reach External Review status by the November 9 deadline will be determined by their ranking among the other submitted applications.Special Notes
The Schedule D - Intellectual Property Term Sheet must be reviewed by the Office of Research Services and uploaded as part of a completed VIP I application package. The Schedule D will form a part of the OCE funding agreement if the application is approved for funding. Please note that the OCE Funding Agreement is standard and modifications will not be accommodated.
Deadlines
If College-level review is required, your College will communicate its earlier internal deadlines.
