Applications must be submitted online through the Brown University UFunds system at: https://ufunds.brown.edu/. The online grant application will open on June 20, 2022 at 9:00 AM ET. Applications may be submitted no later than September 15, 2022 at 5:00 PM ET.

Required materials and resources for the application are available here: https://impactcollaboratory.org/grants-and-training/career-development-awards/cda-required-materials-and-resources/.

Access to UFunds: UFunds can be accessed either with a Brown University email address or with a Gmail address that has been granted rights to the system. The PI may request Gmail access, or someone else may request permission to submit on behalf of a PI. UFunds is not a multi-user environment. If the PI needs more than one person to work on the application in UFunds, contact Faye_Dvorchak@brown.edu to discuss a possible workaround prior to requesting access in UFunds. If you were granted access to UFunds previously, your credentials are still active.

New users to UFunds must first request access using a Gmail address here: https://tinyurl.com/UFundsAccess. You will receive an email at your Gmail address once access to the UFunds system has been granted. Please note that the registration process can take up to 2 business days, so applicants are strongly encouraged to request access as early as possible.
