The Research Allocation Committee (RAC) reviews grant applications and makes recommendations to the Senior Associate Dean for Research for the distribution of award monies from the Medical Trust Fund and Tobacco Settlement Pilot Project funds. Applications are accepted from faculty with primary appointments in the School of Medicine in five categories.
RAC funding is awarded primarily to provide funds for career development, to provide preliminary data that may lead to extramural funding, and to cover emergency needs between periods of extramural funding. An important goal of these awards is to provide support that will allow investigators to successfully compete for extramural funding.
