The RPC is currently not accepting applications for the Research Opportunity Funding mechanism.
The Research Opportunity Fund (ROF) aims to provide rapid funding for SOM researchers, with several specific areas of support.
Applicants must be tenure-track or tenured faculty in the SOM. However, faculty mentors may submit applications on behalf of research fellows or trainees with proper explanation of the circumstances.
