Launched in 2009 with generous support from the John S. Dunn Foundation, this seed grant program continues to build the collaborative environment of the Gulf Coast Consortia (GCC) and fund projects with high potential for impacting human health.

The purpose of this program is to foster new, exemplary inter-disciplinary and inter-institutional engagement in the quantitative biomedical sciences by providing research seed grants. Funds will be awarded to new collaborative teams in which the PI and co-PI are from different GCC member institutions: Baylor College of Medicine, Rice University, University of Houston, UT Health Science Center at Houston, UT Medical Branch at Galveston, UT MD Anderson Cancer Center, and The Institute of Biosciences and Technology of Texas A&M. Faculty can be PI or a member of the collaborative team on only one pre-proposal. The pre-proposal may be submitted only once, to the PI institution. Three teams from each institution will be invited to submit full proposals and from there, three full proposals will be selected to receive a Dunn Collaborative Research Award of up to $100,000 per team for a two-year period.
