Sparking Discovery, Creativity, Knowledge and Impact

The Stanford King Center on Global Development is a Stanford University research center working to improve the lives of the world’s poor. We support research, inspire students, and collaborate with thought leaders to make a real world impact.

The King Center on Global Development invites proposals from Stanford faculty for capacity-building and policy-engagement activities that support academics, government officials, or other policymakers in low- and middle-income countries.

The King Center recognizes that conducting research in low- and middle-income countries is increasingly complex and that in extraordinary cases, faculty may have emergency funding needs for ongoing projects.  

Seed grants to boost researchers’ independence with hands-on mass spectrometry. Individualized, project-specific support empowers researchers to confidently design and carry out mass spec projects and generate reliable, actionable data.

This grant supports instructors to incorporate community engaged learning projects into their courses to address social or environmental challenges.

Grants of up to $10,000 to support new mass spectrometry projects and methodologies in emerging proteomics technology areas in support of early phase investigations and pilot studies.

Grants of up to $10,000 to support new mass spectrometry projects requiring LC-MS/MS targeted quantitation capabilities, in support of methodology development, early phase investigations, and pilot studies.

For arts-related projects/events that align with VPA strategic priorities. 

The Propel Grants support collaborative research teams as they prepare proposals for large or strategic external funding opportunities.

Seeking bold proposals from Stanford faculty of any research or clinical backgrounds with the potential to generate paradigm-shifting insights into healthy brain aging and resilience against cognitive decline, and neurodegenerative disorders.
