<a href="http://www.wmkeck.org/grant-programs/research"><span style="color:#076873;text-decoration:none">W.M. Keck Foundation Research Program</span></a> supports pioneering projects in medical research or science and engineering research. Keck funds projects
that are distinctive, novel and high-risk with the potential for a significant and transformative impact. This program typically provides up to $1M in project funding over two years and requires a 1:1 match. Please note that this Keck program does not support
center proposals or drug delivery, therapeutics, clinical, or disease-specific research projects.<br>
<br>
This is a request for concept papers that will be reviewed for selection for submission to Keck for their pre-application counseling review process. The UA may submit up to four single-page concept papers in each program area. In addition to the limited solicitation
selection process, </span><strong><span style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:125%;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">applicants selected to submit concept papers to Keck, will be required to submit their final concept papers to ORD for review for alignment with
Keck review criteria and final approval for submission to Keck</span></strong><span style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:125%;font-family:"Helvetica",sans-serif;color:#606060">. Research Development Services staff are available for consultation on those criteria.<br>
<br>
The UA Foundation (UAF) will submit the final concept papers to Keck and Keck will provide feedback on these concept papers in a follow-up pre-application counseling review session in July-August 2016 attended by UAF and RDS staff. Following this counseling
session, and dependent on Keck’s recommendations, ORD and the UAF may finalize the selection of one proposal per program area to be submitted to Keck as a Phase I Application in November 2016.<br>

</span><strong><span style="font-size:11.5pt;line-height:125%;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Applicants may not contact the W.M.
