Research Investment in the Scientific Enterprise (RISE)

RISE provides financial support for DOM faculty who obtain extramural funding at the NIH P-, U-, or R01-levels. All DOM faculty are eligible for these funds, based on the direct costs of qualifying extramural award/s.

RISE Policy determines eligibility and level of funding. Upload your NIH Notice of Grant Award (NOGA) or equivalent to receive RISE. You will need to list all MPIs and co-PIs for each eligible award. Level of RISE funding will be updated three times per year in April, August and December. To receive any adjustments based on new awards, your NOGA or equivalent must be uploaded before the first of the month. All adjustments will be effective on the first day of the following month, i.e. May 1, September 1, January 1."

SOM Bridge Funding Match

DOM will match, for one year, funds provided through the SOM bridge funding program for eligible DOM faculty. If you received SOM Bridge Funding after January 1, 2024, upload your letter from the SIRC here to be eligible.

Requests for financial contributions to and/or letters of support from DOM can be obtained in one place – right here. These are for LOS and/or financial support for large extramural grants where department support is expected or enhances the chances for successful grant funding (eg. certain NIH P and U mechanisms), for centers and institutes affiliated with DOM, and for core facilities who are applying for SOM Strategic Infrastructure for Research Initiatives (SIRC) or NIH Shared Instrumentation Grants (SIG). Online requests are evaluated monthly and must be received at least three weeks before the application due date.
