The Mallinckrodt Grant Program (not to be confused with the Mallinckrodt Scholars Program) through the Edward Mallinckrodt Jr. Foundation, is a competitive funding opportunity designed to provide faculty members who hold M.D. and/or Ph.D. degrees, and are in their first to fourth year of a tenure-track position and do not have current R01 funding, with start-up support. The grant provides $75,000 annually for a period of up to three years. No overhead / indirect costs are allowed.

An internal competition will be held to assign the university’s single slot. Interested investigators should submit a 1-2 page summary of their proposed project and Biosketch in NIH format by 5 p.m. on May 26, 2023. Please submit documents through SLU's OpenWater portal at the following link: https://slu.secure-platform.com/a/solicitations/128/home

Investigators will be notified of their results by June 23, 2023, barring any unforeseen circumstances. If selected, the full proposal deadline is August 1, 2023.

A description of the Mallinckrodt Grant Program and proposal guidelines can be found here and details of the proposal submission can be found here. A 1-2 page lay summary will be required in the final proposal and will be of particular importance to the non-scientific trustees of the foundation.
