Purpose
The major goal of these collaborative research projects is to firmly establish strong research partnerships across the George Washington University, The George Washington University Medical Center (GWUMC) and the Medical Faculty Associates (MFA) and to generate preliminary data that will lead to future NIH grant application(s).

Eligibility
Faculty eligible for the MFA Collaborative Research Program include: any regular, active-status faculty who is continuing in service at the University the following academic year. Both MFA and GWU applicants' primary appointment must be at GWU. Each application must have at least one collaborator from the MFA and one from the University and/or Medical Center. 

Deadline
Upcoming rounds of this competition are still to be determined. Due dates for the MFA Collaborative Research Program are due typically in May.
