Call for Applications: 
Libby and Lucy Overman Prematurity Pilot Grant Program

Picture
Mike and Holly Overman lost their identical twin daughters, Lucy and Libby, in 2019 due to preterm birth. Though devastated by their loss, they were incredibly appreciative for the care they received and impressed with the research being done at UNC. The goal of the Lucy and Libby Overman Prematurity Pilot Grant Program is to provide grant funding to ‘kickstart’ advances in prematurity research while also creating a legacy for Libby and Lucy.
 
Research topics of interest to the grant committee are broad within the areas of clinical and translational research related to prematurity. Both the antenatal (pregnancy) and postnatal (neonatal and beyond) periods are of interest. Research may focus on identification of women at highest risk, treatment strategies, psychosocial support, and postnatal therapy, or other similar topics. Preference is given to young investigators and/or work that may lead to other funded projects or have an impact on the local community, though all eligible individuals are encouraged to apply.

Eligibility: All applicants must be a full-time UNC employee, trainee, or student. If the primary applicant is a student, trainee (e.g., resident or fellow physician), or Instructor, a faculty mentor / advisor at the Assistant/Associate/Professor level is required.
 
Budget: Up to 3 grants will be awarded. The maximum budget per grant proposal is $6,000. No salary support for the PI or indirects/overhead may be requested. Salary support for a research assistant or other support staff critical to project success is permitted. The budget / award period is 1 – 2 years.

Application process: Completed applications include a NIH biosketch from the PI (and faculty mentor as applicable), a 250-word or less lay summary, and additional information as described in the detailed online application system, located online at https://redcap.link/libbylucy 
 
Deadline: All applications must be received by Friday June 11th at 11:59pm. No late applications will be accepted.

All grants should be submitted online at https://redcap.link/libbylucy

Grant Award Selection Criteria

All grants received will be reviewed by a grant selection committee. Grants will be scored on the basis of originality, feasibility, likelihood of future funding and/or likelihood of impacting local families impacted by prematurity.

All applicants are expected to be notified regarding grant award decisions in July 2021
