Non-Federal Funding Opportunities
Attached please find the weekly non-federal RFP grant opportunities report from the Michigan Medicine Office of Corporate & Foundation Relations. The Excel Summary provides an at-a-glance resource to quickly review the opportunities and the Grants Report Word document provides a more in-depth description of each RFP or award. Both attached documents contain hyperlinks to the application guidance website. Following are some highlighted listings from this week’s report, based on award amounts ($100,000+) and manageable deadlines. This week's report includes two $1 million+ grant opportunities from the Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Foundation and from the American Cancer Society, and a very large number of other cancer-related RFP announcements from additional grantors. Please note that additional RFPs ranging from $20,000 - $99,999 are also routinely included in the attached documents, but are not highlighted in this cover email (with the exception of COVID-19 grants) – these often include smaller research grant RFPs, orphan disease research grants, early career awards, scholarships and postdoctoral fellowships. A searchable listing of all previously posted RFPs with currently open deadlines is available at this site: https://umhs-foundations.infoready4.com/

Please note that a faculty member’s research administrator will serve as the liaison on all aspects of the internal application process. If you are unsure of whom to talk to, your department contact can be found at the following link If you pursue any grant opportunity featured in this report, please contact your research administrator first to formulate a submission plan and timeline.
