Operating Grants

Operating Grants are intended for CHRIM Member projects that will provide critical funding for new study objectives that will help enhance opportunities to obtain national peer-reviewed or industry research support. Occasionally, extra funds become available in the form of endowment funds or other special donations, for a specific use or area of research designated by the donor. Monies not awarded under Operating Grants are put into a miscellaneous discretionary fund to be used at the discretion of the CEO and Scientific Director. Application for these special funds will be administered as a separate category of an Operating Grant. Special funding is announced as it becomes available.

Operating Grants consist of a single one-year award, that may be extended for an additional two years, for three years total. (Refer to Section 2.4). Operating Grants will be a maximum amount of $60,000 in value. The number of Operating Grants that are funded will vary depending on current budgets.
