In 2007, we received 123 total applications, including 112 for the Innovation Awards and 11 for the Clinical Innovation Awards programs. The 123 applications requested $18.3 million in support. These applications came from faculty representing nearly 30 departments in the College of Arts and Sciences and in the Schools of Dentistry, Medicine, Pharmacy, and Public Health.

The 18 awards included: 12 Basic Science (19% of submitted), four Clinical/Translational (14%), and two Population Sciences (11%). Of the 18 awards, 13 to the School of Medicine, 1 each to the Schools of Pharmacy and Public Health, and three to the College of Arts and Sciences. The Fund also made eight Clinical Innovation Awards totaling $508,000. Awards went to investigators in six departments. One award was to an investigator in the College of Arts and Sciences. The other seven went to departments in the School of Medicine, including Medicine (4), Obstetrics-Gynecology (1), Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation (1), and the Health Sciences Library (1).
