*Internal Funding Opportunity for Stanford faculty*
CCNE-TR website
Internal Deadline: Monday, April 6, 2009
(see Submitting an Application below)
Amount of Funding:
Applicants may request up to $20,000 in total direct costs for a 9 month duration of the supplemental Pilot Projects under this program.
Each Pilot Project will be a one-year project and continuation of a project beyond its first year will be contingent upon the success of the previous year.
Contact information:
Applicants are welcome to discuss their plans in response to this solicitation. Please direct these inquiries to Billie Robles at brobles@stanford.edu.
Purpose:
The Stanford Center for Cancer Nanotechnology Excellence Focused on Therapy Response
(CCNE-TR) is soliciting new Pilot Projects from established investigators. The vision of CCNE-TR is to bring together researchers from various disciplines to form synergistic teams that will make significant advances in developing and validating nanotechnology that will impact cancer diagnosis, therapy and management. Members of these teams will include trainees that will gain access to a highly multidisciplinary experience, and who will become well equipped to establish independent, multidisciplinary research programs. Projects will mainly include those that have a high potential for linking nanotechnology to pre-clinical imaging models for improved cancer patient management. This program is funded through the NIH/NCI U54 grant.
If selected and funded
Verification of approved protocols must be submitted to Billie Robles (brobles@stanford.edu). A progress report in NIH format is due to Billie Robles on February 15, 2010. Attendance to several CCNE meetings is required to show progress of project. In addition, a presentation of progress is required for the annual NCI site visit, which is held sometime in early 2010.
Eligibility:
Established investigators (Stanford faculty with UTL, MCL or NTLR appointments).
Preference will be given to those investigators at Stanford who are not currently involved with the CCNE-TR.
All applications, regardless of relationship to CCNE-TR, will undergo the same level of scrutiny before being identified as an appropriate Pilot Project.
Submitting an Application
Deadline: Monday, April 6 , 2009
Applicants should submit one electronic copy as an e-mail attachment in PDF format of the following to Billie Robles in the Radiology Department at brobles@stanford.edu by Monday, April 6, 2009.
1) SU-42 form*
*Kathleen Thompson, the Director of RMG, has approved the modified use of the SU-42 form for this internal selection process only:
Section A: Fill in PI name and department and department contact only
Section B: Complete the entire section B (including all research compliance and conflict of interest sections)
Signature: PI signature only (department chair and RPM or (for other school faculty-OSR) signatures not needed for this RFA only) The SU-42 forms will also enable CCNE-TR to determine, when a decision is made regarding which proposals to fund, which copies of research compliance approvals (human, animal, SCRO, etc) will be needed from each awardee before funds can be released.
2) Title page with the following information:
Project title
Project leader's name, title, department, complete contact information
Co-Investigators: names, titles, department affiliation, complete contact information
3) 2-6 page (3 page recommended) description of proposed research, including the following:
Research plan:
Description of research subjects involved (human or animal)
Description of interdisciplinary characteristics of this project as it utilizes the Core Resources:
Explanation of how the proposed research fits into existing CCNE-TR & Stanford Research Component Projects (see the CCNE-TR website at http://mips.stanford.edu/public/grants/ccne/
(note: illustrations and references are not included in the 6 page limit)
4) Detailed budget for up to $20,000 in total direct costs at applicable rates (please work with your Research Process Manager for your department) (to find RPM for your department: http://med.stanford.edu/rmg/rpmmaster.html) Estimated budget period: 04/30/09-05/01/10. The budget period must end 05/01/10.
5) Budget Justification (NIH format)
6) Biosketch (NIH format) for the Project Leader and Co-Investigators
7) Other Support (also NIH format). Please include both active and pending support
The CCNE-TR Executive Council will review and recommend action on all Pilot Project applications. All applications for Pilot Fund Projects will be sent to Billie Robles. You will receive a notification of our selection by Monday, April 17, 2009.
Note: the release of funds will be contingent upon verification by CCNE-TR of the recipient's human subject, SCRO, and animal subject approvals and compliance with other administrative issues.
