Research Pilot Award Program (RPAP)

The application period is currently closed.

The RPAP offers funding to Baystate faculty to generate pilot data to strengthen proposals for externally-sponsored research grants (e.g. federal or foundation). The objective is to generate preliminary data to increase the competitiveness of research grant applications from Baystate Health. Applicants may request up to $50,000 per year for two years. RPAP review criteria include: alignment with Baystate’s mission and/or compass points and likelihood to lead to externally sponsored grants. We give preference to junior investigators and senior investigators without current external funding. Deadlines are twice per year, in June and December.

For more information about the RPAP, email Paul Visintainer, PhD, Director of Epidemiology and Biostatistics at Paul.Visintainer@baystatehealth.org or call 413-794-7686. View a list of our current RPAP Award Recipients.
