SUMMARY:Boost Funding Applications Due
DESCRIPTION:NC School of Medicine (SOM) faculty are extremely successful in their efforts to obtain funding for their research\, although the SOM recognizes that it often takes multiple submissions and additional experimental data to get a new project funded\, particularly as a new investigator\, or with a more complex\, multi-PI project. \nIn support of these efforts\, the SOM Office of Research is inviting applications from faculty for Boost awards\, which are designed to boost the chances of funding for an NIH grant (or similar) that has been reviewed favorably but needs additional revisions and preliminary data in order to be funded on resubmission.  Please note that Boost awards are distinct from the OoR bridge funding program\, which provides funds for bridging A1 renewal applications for ongoing\, not new\, projects. \nThe most recent memo can be found here. \nPlease direct questions and email your applications to Jen Brennan at OoR_Submissions@med.unc.edu.

SUMMARY:Bridge Funding Applications Due
DESCRIPTION:Bridge funding applications are typically accepted 3 times during the academic year.  A memo is sent to Department Chairs to share with their faculty giving specific due dates. \nThe most recent memo can be found here. \nEligibility criteria: \n\nThe grant has been reviewed and received a written critique\nThe PI has no more than 2 active R01s or the equivalent level of funding\nThe PI does not have more than $50k of additional sources of lab support\, e.g. trust fund\, startup\, retention\, royalties.\nIf the grant’s NIH number identifies the grant as a ‘new’ grant\, the PI must include a cover letter explaining how the new grant is a repackaged version of previously funded research\nThe grant under consideration must be administered in an SOM unit\nThe department/center agrees to match the funding from the Dean’s Office.\n\nThe application for bridge funding much include: \n\ncover letter\nletter of support\ncurrent 3-4 page NIH biosketch\npublications\nresearch section of the original grant application\nthe NIH review of that application\na draft rebuttal for the revised application\nproposed budget for the bridge funds.\n\nPlease direct questions and email your applications to Jen Brennan at OoR_Submissions@med.unc.edu.

SUMMARY:Internal Limited Submission Deadline: NCI Predoctoral Transition Award (F99/K00)
DESCRIPTION:The NCI plans to reissue the F99/K00 transitional training award for graduate students in the field of cancer research (see the attached flyer from FY20 as well as the Notice of Intent to republish the RFA linked here.). Last year’s RFA can also be found here.  Please consider nominating your students if they fit the eligibility criteria.  Only one proposal per institution is allowed so there will be an internal selection process to identify the best candidate. \nThe purpose of the award is to facilitate the transition of talented graduate students into successful cancer research postdoctoral appointments\, and provide opportunities for career development activities relevant to their long-term career goals of becoming independent cancer researchers. \nThe F99/K00 award is meant to provide up to 6 years of support in two phases and is intended for individuals who require 1-2 years to complete their Ph.D. dissertation research training (F99 phase) before transitioning to mentored postdoctoral research training (K00 phase). Consequently\, applicants are expected to propose an individualized research training plan for the next 1-2 years of dissertation research training and a plan for 3-4 years of mentored postdoctoral research and career development activities that will prepare them for independent cancer-focused research careers. \nThe applicant must have a baccalaureate degree and be currently enrolled as a graduate student in the third or fourth year of a mentored PhD or equivalent research degree program in the biomedical\, behavioral\, or clinical sciences. The applicant must be at the dissertation research stage of training at the time of award\, and must show evidence of high academic performance in the sciences and commitment to a career as an independent cancer research scientist \nSince this is a limited submission\, the OoR will conduct the SOM review and coordinate the final review and selection with other schools that have nominated applicants. \nFaculty mentors with primary appointments in the School of Dentistry\, School of Pharmacy\, or School of Public Health should direct their nominations to their School. \nFor faculty mentors in the SOM\, the items below should be emailed to the Office of Research (oor_submissions@med.unc.edu) by Thursday\, September 1\, 2022. \n\nTitle Page including:\n\n-Nominee name\, department\, PhD program\, current year in the graduate program \n-Mentor name\, department \n-Citizenship status or current Visa \n\nNomination letter from the primary mentor. This letter should confirm that the nominee will be at the dissertation research stage of training at the time of award\, and must provide “evidence of high academic performance in the sciences and commitment to a career as an independent cancer research scientist” .  The primary mentor must confirm his/her “successful track record of mentoring predoctoral students”.\n\n\nDissertation Aims / Summary (1 page) prepared by the nominee\nNIH biosketch for the candidate (please address future plans and relevance to cancer in your personal statement)\nNIH biosketch for the faculty mentor\n\n  \nUNC has had three students that have been selected for this program previously:  Sarah Shelton / BME (2016) and Ning Cheng / Oral biology (2017) and Megan Agajanian / Pharmacology (2019). \n  \nMore information including slides and recording of webinars from last year can be found here under the Resources tab at the end of the page.
