Subject: A new Funding Paradigm for highly scored but unfunded research applications - OnPAR
To: ACTIVE_UVM_PIS@list.uvm.edu
OnPAR (Online Partnership to Accelerate Research), is a recently announced funding paradigm for highly scored unfunded research applications. OnPAR is a matchmaking platform developed by Leidos where applicants and non-government funders come together. Government, private foundations, private foundations, pharmaceutical companies, venture capital funds, and other funds for biomedical research are part of a funding ecosystem that supports global biomedical research. The players are Leidos (the company supplying the platform), Partners (national and international government funding agencies who work with Leidos to announce OnPAR to their unfunded, high-scoring applicants), Members ( non-government and other private organizations and companies seeking to fund research) and Applicants (researchers with high scoring unfunded research applications).
OnPAR started as a pilot partnership between NIH and Leidos to find private support for highly scored but unfunded NIH Biomedical research applications. It is now in the process of expanding to other areas (Energy and Agriculture) and adding additional Partner agencies (NSF, DoD, DOE and NASA and others). Currently NIH is the only funding agency actively partnering with OnPAR to alert unfunded applicants, but any eligible applicant is encouraged to register at OnPAR and submit their highly scored, unfunded application abstract for consideration. OnPAR retains the abstracts for one year.
