Dear Colleagues,
This is reminder for a funding opportunity (Discovery Park Big Idea Challenge) that will provide seed funding to interdisciplinary teams to address global challenges.
The goal is to nurture ideas and create opportunities that can increase the chances for major external funding to create a center of excellence at Purdue. This seed funding is up to $300K per year for two years (there is no overhead). The two-page preproposal
is due on December 20th. For more details see:
http://www.purdue.edu/discoverypark/assets/pdf/Big%20Idea%20Challenge%20Guidelines.pdf
Don’t hesitate to let me know if you want to brainstorm. If you have additional questions, you should contact Cliff Wojtalewicz or Laurel Weldon as described
in the above document.
Best of luck,
Ali
