Internal funding opportunity for Stanford Faculty
Internal deadline: June 13, 2008
(see internal application requirements)
ICMIC Website
Amount of funding/Budget Information:
Applicants may request up to $50,000 in total direct costs for up to a one-year duration of the supplemental Developmental Projects under this program.
Most Developmental Projects 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.
Purpose
The in Vivo Cellular and Molecular Imaging Center (ICMIC@Stanford) is soliciting new and continuing Developmental Projects from established investigators. The vision of ICMIC@Stanford is to bring together researchers from various disciplines to form synergistic teams that will make significant advances in the use of multimodality molecular imaging strategies for better linking pre-clinical models of cancer with the clinical management of cancer. 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 pre-clinical imaging models with clinical imaging for improved cancer patient management. This program is funded through the NIH/NCI P50 grant.
Established investigators (Stanford faculty with UTL, MCL or NTLR appointments)
All applications, regardless of relationship to the ICMIC@Stanford, will undergo the same level of scrutiny before being identified as an appropriate Developmental Project.
Submitting an Application
Deadline: June 13, 2008
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 June 13th.
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: PI name and department and department contact only
Section B: Complete the entire section B (including research compliance and conflict of interest sections)
Signature: PI signature only (department chair and RPM signatures not needed for this RFA only)
The SU-42 forms will also enable ICMIC 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) 6 page description of proposed research, including the following:
Research plan
Description of research subjects involved (both human or animal)
Description of interdisciplinary characteristics of this project as it utilizes Specialized Resources
Explanation of how the proposed research fits into existing ICMIC & Stanford Research Component Projects (see the ICMIC website at http://mips.stanford.edu/public/grants/icmic/
(note: illustrations and references are not included in the 6 page limit)
4) Detailed budget for up to $50,000 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: 08/01/09- 06/30/09. Budget period must end 06/30/09.)
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
Selection Process
The ICMIC@Stanford Executive Committee will review and recommend action on all Developmental Project applications. All applications for Developmental Fund Projects will be sent to Billie Robles brobles@stanford.edu including newly initiated projects as well as renewal projects. You will receive a notification of our selection by July 1, 2008.
Note: the release of funds will be contingent upon verification by ICMIC of the recipient's human subject, SCRO and animal subject approvals and compliance with other administrative issues.
Inquiries
Applicants are welcome to discuss their plans in response to this solicitation. Please direct all inquiries to Billie Robles at brobles@stanford.edu.
