Applying for pilot funding

Whether you are in MIR or not, one of the best ways to get your project started or get initial data for a study is to apply for MIR Pilot Funding.

• Application at https://rad-apps.mir.wustl.edu/pilotfunding
• More details at the MIR core resources page
• As of 2024, up to $15,000 per application from MIR Pilot Funds. Another $5,000 is available from ICTS JIT for a total of $20,000 maximum.

Tips

• Review the rate sheets (linked at the top of here) to help populate the line items in the “Resources” section; having detailed and justified expenses will greatly facilitate your application!
• Please add your total budget (even if it exceeds the grant limits); the MIR Pilot Fund award assessment may assume $5,000 of the presented budget will be paid for by ICTS, so the budget considered for award under the MIR Pilot Fund may be reduced accordingly.
