The Scientific Steering Committee for the Kansas IDeA Network of Biomedical Research Excellence (K-INBRE) is calling for proposals to support:
The purpose of this research support is to further the ability of Kansas researchers to compete successfully for NIH funds.
Eligibility:
Tenure and Research Track Faculty Investigators, on one of the 10 K-INBRE campuses, in all areas of cell and developmental biology, to include (1) reproduction and embryonic development, (2) organogenesis, (3) developmental neuroscience and (4) cellular and developmental pathologies, are eligible to compete for pilot, bridging, recruitment package and core facility funds. There are no restrictions on the number of proposals that may be submitted per institution or within a category.
Criteria:
Pilot Grants
Pilot grant proposals will be reviewed by external reviewers, with the major criteria being the importance and strength of the science, relevance to cell and developmental biology and the likelihood of developing successfully into an NIH-funded project.
Bridging Grants
Bridging grant proposals will be reviewed by external reviewers, with the major criteria being the importance and strength of the science, relevance to cell and developmental biology and the likelihood of developing successfully into an NIH-funded project. Aspects to be considered are the priority score and adequacy of the responses to the reviewers.
Institutional Core Facilities
Core Facility grant proposals will be evaluated in terms of importance to the institutional and state cell and developmental biology research initiatives.
Recruitment Packages
Recruitment package grant criteria will include (1) institutional needs, (2) strength of the applicant and (3) the probability that hiring this individual will increase the competitiveness of the institution for NIH funds. A preliminary proposal documenting the establishment of a search for a researcher in cell and developmental biology may be submitted for consideration. Preference will be given to applicants with a recruit ready to sign.
Funding:
Proposals may not exceed $35,000/direct costs for one period of funding.
F&A can be added at 30% Modified Total Direct Costs or 30% Salary &Wage, as appropriate to your campus for F&A recovery. Funds will be made available May 1 and must be spent or encumbered by April 30 of the following year. Awards are contingent on availability of future funds from NIH.
Deadlines:
Proposals are due in the K-INBRE Administrative Office on Feb. 1, 2008, by 5 p.m.
Email proposals to Heiata Chapman, hchapman@kumc.edu. Awards will be announced by May 1, 2008. For specific information, contact either Janette Lyon at jlyon@kumc.edu or Heiata Chapman.
For those interested in pursuing this funding opportunity, please contact Barbara C. Earl, manager of proposal services, at 864-7781 or bearl@ku.edu.
