Thank you for your interest in the ACCEL COVID-19 Rapid Science Grant Program. At this time, we have received an overwhelming response to our call and will be closing proposal submissions at 5 p.m. ET this Friday, May 15, 2020. Proposals submitted past this time will not be considered. Please feel free to contact Karen Hough at khough@udel.edu with questions.

Considering the emergence and spread of the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the United States and abroad, the DE-CTR ACCEL Program is accepting proposals to conduct COVID-19 specific clinical and translational research that can be conducted immediately.

If you are a scientist at an ACCEL institution and are currently working on a COVID-19 related project and in need of funding, we invite you to apply for a one of three types of Rapid Science Grants.
