Key Issues for our Institute
  • Buy in by all scientists
  • IAB representativity
  • Size / inventory
  • Same budget as all the other institutes
  • Joint Ventures
  • Support from public and lay organizations

12
Institute Budget
  • Direct
  • Institute Support Grant
  • Strategic Initiative Envelop
  • Indirect
  • allocation of investigator initiated grants and
    awards
  • ongoing projects

13
Institute Support Grant
  • 1 million
  • fixed ongoing costs
  • salaries (Scientific Director 2 positions)
  • operating costs (rent, etc.)
  • travel
  • Institute Advisory Board operations
  • Institute Development
  • workshops, international collaborations,
  • BrainStar Program, etc.

14
Institute Development
  • Examples
  • seed funding of novel, high risk research
  • development of training or conference setting
  • directed communications initiative
  • workshop and on-going network support
  • sponsorship for international engagement
  • strategic research indentification
  • support for partner initiatives
  • development stage for strategic initiatives
  • BrainStar program

15
BrainStar Program
  • To recognize the excellence of the research done
    by trainees in all fields covered by our
    Institute
  • 1,000 per award preferably used to present at a
    scientific meeting
  • Attributed every 2 weeks by a small committee of
    4-5 members of the IAB including the Scientific
    Director
  • Based on a research article recently published
    (less than 6 months) as first author in a high
    impact journal
  • Cross-pillar is a plus

16
Strategic Initiative Envelop
  • 2001/2002 - April 1st, 2001

  • training grants
  • RFA development
  • accountability

17
What are Strategic Initiatives?
