Targeted research is limited to the following areas: Basic Research in Biomedicine Research that advances biomedicine through the fundamental mechanisms of biochemistry, cell biology, microbiology, physiology and pharmacology, as well as through the development of computational biological methods.

Basic Research in Energy and the Environment Research that advances the understanding of energy and environment through the fundamental sciences of chemistry, physics, engineering sciences, computational sciences, and materials sciences.

There are no limits on the number of pre-proposals that institutions may submit. If the statewide number of pre-proposals exceeds 150, then institutions will be asked to select a smaller number of pre-proposals submitted to go forward to review. The smaller number will be based on a proportional share of statewide pre-proposal submissions.

Only “Early Career Principal Investigators” may submit a proposal: Early Career Principal Investigators are defined as non-tenured, tenure track faculty members or research professionals not including post-doctoral students, research assistants/associates, or instructors from an eligible institution who have been employed at the institution in that capacity for not less than two years and not more than five years, as of the pre-proposal submission date. Principal Investigators are limited to one pre-proposal submission. Approximate posting date for Request for Application RFA: mid-September 2013.
