Past Funding Opportunities

PISC x CHERISH Opioid Pilot Grant

The Penn Injury Science Center is happy to team up with CHERISH (Center for Health Economics for Treatment of Substance Use Disorders, HCV, and HIV) on a co-sponsored pilot grant focusing on opioid use disorders. The Letter of Intent is due January 27, 2023. If you choose to submit a LOI/proposal, please clearly identify yourself as a PISC Scholar or Trainee. Details and forms to apply can be found here.

PISC Trainee & Early-Stage Faculty Pilot Grant Program

From the Penn Injury Science Center

The Penn Injury Science Center (PISC) typically provides funding for (2) pilot grants proposals annually, for projects up to $10,000 each, though available funding may vary from year to year.

Pilot projects are expected to support PISC’s mission to reduce injuries and violence and their sequelae through the highest caliber science. Applicants are encouraged to demonstrate a rigorous approach to solve an important scientific problem in injury science and that contributes to building their research program. We accept applications using a Principal Investigator (PI) or multiple Principal Investigator (MPI) mechanism.

See the 2022 call for applications

PISC Exploratory Grant Program for Penn Faculty

The Penn Injury Science Center (PISC) invites yearly proposals for our CDC-funded Exploratory Grants Program and typically funds one project per year around $15,000-20,000 in direct costs, though available funding may vary from year to year.

The purpose of this program is to support Penn faculty in conducting a rigorous study to serve as the basis to seek long-term extramural funding to grow their area of science. The PI or all MPIs must be a member of the standing or research faculty of Penn.

Exploratory projects are expected to support the mission of PISC – which is to reduce injuries and violence through the highest caliber science. Applicants are encouraged to include more than one discipline and to demonstrate a rigorous approach to solve an important scientific problem in injury science.
