for a 50 kg individual drinking 12 oz of a contaminated beverage. Aconitine, on the other hand, was detected at approximately the LD(50) level. The percent recoveries for the SPE ranged from 37% to as high as 99%. Nicotine attained the highest recovery efficiencies, followed by colchicine, and finally, aconitine and strychnine, which were nearly identical. The greatest recovery efficiencies were achieved from apple juice and water, whereas nonfat milk yielded the lowest.and guidance related to its particular programs.

SEED GRANT PROGRAMS

There are various university-based seed grant programs designed to support pilot projects and analyses to prepare faculty to submit larger extramural grants.

Examples of these programs include:

University of Maryland (College Park and Baltimore campuses) Research and Innovation Grant Program. This program is usually announced in the winter and requires partnered investigators from each campus. At College Park, this program is administered by the Division of Research.

Faculty Incentive Research Development Awards Administered by the Division of Research at UMD

Investigators can apply for seed funding as an individual faculty member conducting research or as an interdisciplinary team (TIER I); as faculty who are developing a major program initiative for federal funding (TIER 2), or
