Proposals for internal funding are reviewed by a standing Internal Review Committee appointed by the Vice President for Research.
The 2010-11 Internal Review Committee includes: Paul Adler (Biology), Joe Campbell (Electrical and Computer Engineering), James Casanova (Cell Biology), Gordon Cates (Physics), Howard Epstein (Environmental Sciences), Brent French (Biomedical Engineering), Pat Grant (Biochemistry and Molecular Genetics), Yacov Haimes (Systems and Information Engineering), Ian Harrison (Chemistry), David Hill (Psychology), Dean Kedes (Microbiology), Norbert Leitinger (Pharmacology), Steven Majewski (Astronomy), Jim McDaniel (Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering), Marcie McDuffie (Microbiology), Matt Neurock (Chemical Engineering), Petra Reinke (Materials Science), Kevin Skadron (Computer Science), Jim Smith (Civil and Environmental Engineering), Michael Wiener (Molecular Physiology and Biological Physics), and Scott Zeitlin (Neuroscience). Jeffrey Plank (VPR) serves as Committee secretary.
External Funding
Note: The Office of the Vice President for Research (VPR) coordinates limited submission proposals to private foundations, federal agencies, and other outside sponsors. Typically, we issue requests for internal preliminary proposals well in advance of a sponsor's deadline, oversee internal review with a standing committee of faculty members appointed by the Vice President for Research and Graduate Studies, and as necessary, assist applicants with final proposals. For limited submission proposals, it is the responsibility of the faculty member to check with the VPR office regarding internal deadlines and internal review processes before making plans to prepare proposals. Contact Jeffrey Plank, Associate Vice President.
Biomedical Innovation Fund
The Biomedical Innovation Fund was created by The Ivy Foundation to support biomedical innovation and translational research projects at the University of Virginia. Funds are provided by The Ivy Foundation and by Johnson & Johnson’s Corporate Office of Science and Technology. During the third year of funding, the program awarded $265,000 to six projects.

The goal of this program is to support research projects that address unmet clinical needs and lead to improvements in health care. Examples of desirable outcomes include improved diagnosis and treatment of disease through inventions and patents, commercial products, commercial partnerships, licenses and start-up companies.
