The ICE Teams Grant program is designed to provide support for new or existing groups who can demonstrate that they are committed to engendering a trans-disciplinary research culture and to attracting into, engaging and mentoring junior researchers (faculty and post-doctoral fellows not otherwise funded) or established researchers who have not worked extensively in health research in the past, within teams or networks working on themes that align with the priorities identified by the Institutes participating in this RFA.
Health researchers in many areas are currently faced with the challenge of addressing a growing number of important research questions in the face of critical deficits in research capacity. Therefore, the purpose of this RFA is to address this challenge by building capacity among teams of investigators who are poised to conduct research and translate new knowledge in strategically important research areas.
