Small Grants Program
Under the CCaTS Small Grants Program, each Mayo Clinic clinical department or division with a research committee receives funds based on its number of consultant full-time employees. The department or division then makes awards to individual investigators based on:
- Potential of the project to impact practice.
- Qualifications of the investigator.
- Feasibility.
- Scientific merit.
The purpose of the Small Grants Program is to support the development and evaluation of practice innovations or the description of current practices and outcomes. The projects must conclude within two years and should not require extensive financial resources.
Departments and divisions are notified of their funding allocations in the first quarter of the calendar year.
