> Hi Everyone,
> 
>  
> 
> We are now accepting concept papers to review for consideration for Keck's Fall 2021 grant cycle. Please forward this information to those you believe would be interested (Chairs, Directors, Deans, etc.). All concept papers need to be submitted to me by EOD Tuesday, August 31. You can find the detailed instructions for constructing your single-paged concept papers here. All concepts will be reviewed by an internal committee that will decide which concept will move forward and be invited to submit a full proposal. (Only one concept can move forward in each category. Please note that this is opportunity is open across campus). 
> 
> 
> 
> There are two areas that Keck accepts applications: Medical research and Science and Engineering research. Please identify which research grant area you are applying for when submitting your concept paper. 
> 
> 
> 
> Please review the full guidelines at http://www.wmkeck.org/. 
> 
> 
> 
> Some key points to note for Research grants:
> 
> 1. They do not fund “Centers” virtual or physical. They fund new ideas and new ways of investigating.
> 
> 2. Keck wants unique, different, and new. They are looking for something they haven’t heard of before. They need the “wow” factor. “Oh, we never thought about that.”
> 
> 3. Keck wants to fund incredibly important research that can only be done by that one team.
> 
> 4. Keck wants to fund projects no one else can fund because they are too risky. They will not fund anything that is fundable by NIH/NSF or other government organizations.
> 
> 5. Keck will not fund clinical or therapeutic activities.
> 6. They do not fund disease-specific research or drug development projects. Research needs to pertain to all biomed science.
> 
> 7. Emphasize breakthrough potential. Provide substantial evidence.
> 
> 8. The project needs to blend experiment and theory, this is important.
> 
> Other Feedback:
> 
> Keck reviewers are all PhDs/experts in their fields, from Chemistry, Neuroscience, Biology, etc. They go to all the scientific conferences and are up to speed in their areas. They are familiar with “why” the science is important, so more emphasis needs to be made on “how” we will take an innovative approach.
> 
>  
> 
> Note: Look at recently funded abstracts on their website, http://www.wmkeck.org/impact. These are things that will NOT be funded again. Our concepts need to be different. 
> 
> 
> 
> If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to contact Stacy or me.
