Type of Expenses Allowed

The research grants will be used for research operating costs other than the salary of the investigator (e.g. costs of ERB approval, research personnel and other clinic reimbursements, costs of investigational laboratory testing, etc.).

INSTITUTIONAL FEES (OVERHEAD)
Research programs funded under B-CHERP are entirely investigator- initiated. The AHCDC is a non-profit professional and academic association which gives peer-reviewed research grants. The grantee has no commercial or contractual obligations to AHCDC other than those specified in the grant application. The research grants awarded under the B-CHERP competition are for all the costs foreseen by the investigator up to a maximum of $75,000 per year. Any institutional fee or costs for conducting the research should be included by the investigator in the budget submitted when applying. It is generally expected that academic or research institutions will not charge an overhead fee for the type of research grants awarded by the AHCDC under its B-CHERP program. However any such fee should be included in the budget and the total grant awarded will not exceed $75,000 per year.
