FUNDING OPPORTUNITY
Request for Collaborative Translational Pilot Project Applications
Funding up to $50,000 for one year
The NYU-HHC Clinical and Translational Science Institute (CTSI) is seeking applications for translational research pilot projects. The intent of the NYU-HHC CTSI Translational Research Pilot Project Awards is to support collaborative scientific studies for one year to enable development of preliminary data that will serve as the foundation for submission of translational research grant applications.
The primary criteria for funding of these awards are:
(a) Quality of the science proposed.
(b) Potential of the applicants to acquire future independent funding for the project.
(c) Encouragement of collaborations among clinical and basic science faculty to pursue new research opportunities on a translational project or a new technology; the latter must be useful to other investigators and likely to lead to new funding.
Eligibility:
This competition is open to all investigators at the NYU School of Medicine, the College of Dentistry, the College of Nursing, Schools at the Washington Square Campus, and members of the Health and Hospitals Corporation (HHC) with faculty appointment. Eligible applicants include all faculty members, senior post-doctoral research fellows and clinical fellows if they are likely to become faculty members, and established investigators whose proposals fit the above-listed criteria. Students and beginning post-doctoral fellows are not eligible.
Applications must contain five sections consecutively numbered using NIH forms (Strict adherence to the page limitations is required; 1/2 inch margins all around):
1) Face Form (page1)
2) Description, performance sites and key personnel
3) Research methodology (up to 5 pages: single spaced, 11 point Arial font, including specific aims, hypothesis, and research design)
4) NIH page 4 Biographical Sketch for applicant(s)
5) Budget (no more than one page followed by no more than one page of budget justification)
6) Other Research Support: all active, completed & pending support for the applicants
All requested information should be in NIH format using PHS 398 forms. In addition, please include the NYU Transmittal Form and NYU Investigator Financial Interest Disclosure Form for all applicants.
These forms can be obtained from the Sponsored Programs Administration (SPA) website at:
http://www.med.nyu.edu/spa/forms/nih/phs398.html and
http://www.med.nyu.edu/spa/forms/nyusom
Proposals involving human subjects or experimental animals must obtain approval from the IRB or IACUC before funding can start, but need not be approved prior to submission. Because these grants are reviewed and awarded within NYU with funds already received from the NIH, signatures from the School Grants Office are not required.
Project budgets should be prepared for a 12-month period and may be up to $50,000 in direct costs. Awards for less than $50,000 are encouraged. Budgets may not include salaries for the investigators, indirect costs or equipment exceeding $2,000. Awards may be extended without additional funds for up to twelve months following the one-year period of the grant. Requests for nocost extensions are to be made within 30 days before the termination date through a letter to the Directors of the NYU-HHC CTSI explaining the need for additional time. Extension must be approved by the Directors.
Unspent funds will be returned to the CTSI Developmental Core.
