Proposals are now being accepted for the Dr. Ben F. Bryer Foundation Medical Research Fund.

The Fund was established by the family of Ben F. Bryer to encourage and support the medical research endeavors of University of Michigan-Flint faculty.  This research fund honors the accomplishments of Ben Bryer, surgeon, scientist, educator, author, and humanist, in his pursuit of medical knowledge.  Special gratitude is extended to Dr. Bryer’s sister and foundation trustee, Bess Hurand, and her husband Arthur for making this fund possible. 
 
Funding is available, on an application basis, to full-time faculty of the University of Michigan-Flint to provide support for medical and biomedical research, with a priority given to research related to cancer.  At this time, it is anticipated that one award in the amount of $5000-$7000 will be available.
 
Proposals are due in the Office of Research by Friday, October 30th at 5:00 pm. 

Proposals will be reviewed by the Research and Creative Activities Committee with funding decisions announced in late November.  All proposals must be submitted in hard copy and electronically.   Please follow the guidelines located at  http://www.umflint.edu/research/faculty_funding/bryer.htm.
