External Funding Opportunities

The list below includes external funding opportunities for MGH research faculty. While ECOR administers the nomination process for many of these opportunities, others are managed by HMS or the development office at MGH.

• Limited Submission Funding Opportunities
• HMS Foundation Funds
• Shared Instrumentation Grants
• Breast Cancer Alliance - Exceptional Project Grants
• NIH Director's Early Independence Awards
• Pew Scholars Program
• Gabrielle's Angel Foundation
• Moore Inventor Fellows
• Damon Runyon Clinical Investigator Award
• Margaret Q. Landenberger Research Foundation
• Diversity Supplements - T32 
• Center for Integration of Medicine and Innovative Technology (CIMIT)

For MGH investigators selected through a competitive process as the institutional nominee for any limited submission funding opportunities, in situations in which the grant will bring in less than 20% indirect cost (IDC), ECOR will cover the IDC gap up to a maximum of $50,000 per year. In order to optimize the distribution of limited ECOR funds across the MGH research community, it is expected that PIs and departments will work together to cover the remaining IDC shortfall.

This policy is only effective for those limited submission opportunities in which MGH is invited to submit its own nominee(s). This policy does not apply for those limited submission opportunities in which the MGH investigator must apply through HMS.
