Research Enhancement Programs (REP)


The Research Enhancement Program (REP) is an intramural resource that supports the research endeavors of the School of Medicine's faculty members. REP grants will be awarded to investigators by the Dean of the School of Medicine based on the review and recommendations of the Internal Grant Review (IGR) Committee. The objective of the REP is to improve and to enhance the research productivity and environment of the School of Medicine. In order to accomplish these objectives, the REP will be used to support, on a short-term basis, meritorious projects submitted to the IGR throughout the calendar year.

All full-time faculty members of the School of Medicine are eligible to apply for support from the REP. Support for normal operations of central resources, indirect costs, construction, library, cost overruns, broad institutional planning activities, and administrative travel will be excluded from consideration. Projects repeatedly submitted to extramural agencies, but not funded, are also discouraged.
