MEDx Colloquia [Duke Internal Funding -- For Duke Faculty Only]

Funding Agency:
Duke University

Each year, MEDx opens a call for funding on our take of colloquium. In the past, we have supported a series of dinner meetings that brought together investigators from different disciplines and provided them the opportunity to introduce their research to build collaborations, hosted a three-day meeting to outline a grant proposal (including a break for a Durham Bulls game), and hosted lunch time meetings to explore interest in new area of research. 

While applications that explore any topic at the intersection of medicine and engineering are welcomed, this year MEDx has a particular interest in programs that network people who are interested in the convergence of the environment, engineering, and health.

Requirements:

  • Proposals must be jointly submitted by a faculty member in the Pratt School of Engineering AND a faculty member in the School of Medicine.
  • Proposals must include a clear statement of the objectives of the colloquium, anticipated deliverables and approximate budget

Applicants may request up to $2,500 in funding. With sufficient justification and community engagement, MEDx may consider awards of up to $5,000.

We also welcome requests to co-sponsor colloquia with campus groups interested in pursuing larger opportunities to build community at the intersection of medicine and engineering.

Colloquia Funding for 2022 is now open. Deadline to apply is March 7, 2022.
