B. Funding Of Grant
New Request
The maximum award per year is $125,000. Up to 10% indirect costs are allowable. If so, the total request of direct and indirect costs must not exceed $125,000 per year. An applicant may submit for a one-year or two-year grant. An application for a two-year period should contain a detailed budget for the entire period.
Alternate Funding
An applicant may not apply for, use or accept APMRF funds for a research project or part of a project already supported for the same purpose either by APMRF or by funds from another public or private source. Accordingly, full disclosure of all funds for research support available to the Principal Investigator from private, governmental and institutional sources, including APMRF, is required in the research grant application. If funds from other sources become available to the applicant during the review or tenure of an APMRF grant, then the Principal Investigator must so inform APMRF's Research Administrator in writing. APMRF
will then make a decision about the allocation of its research award.

- Minimal but essential permanent equipment. Any permanent equipment must be directly relevant to the APMRF research grant.
- Expendable supplies

- Salary for the Principal Investigator or participants with faculty appointments
- Construction, alteration, maintenance or rental of buildings or building space
