The Pilot and Feasibility (P and F) Programs of the Baltimore Diabetes Research and Training Center (DRTC) is seeking applications to support new initiatives in diabetes related biomedical, epidemiological or behavioral research.
The Baltimore DRTC is an NIH-funded joint venture between Johns Hopkins University and the University of Maryland and is composed of Cores that are designed to support research in diabetes and related endocrine and metabolic diseases. The Baltimore DRTC is one of seven national centers.
Monetary awards funded by the P and F program provide limited support to develop preliminary data sufficient for funding of a research grant application or to test an innovative hypothesis which might have important implications or yield significant results for diabetes related research.
Eligibility:
• New investigators without current or past NIH support as principal investigators
• Established grant supported investigators who have not previously worked in diabetes related areas
• Established investigators in diabetes related areas with a proposal for testing the feasibility of a new or innovative idea that is diabetes related and represents a clear and distinct departure from his/her ongoing research interests.
• Applications for collaborative projects are strongly encouraged
Awarding Mechanism:
After receiving the submissions, the P and F Steering Committee will review the applications to ensure that they comply with administrative guidelines. The proposals will then be sent to two reviewers, generally from outside the institutions, for peer review. We plan to award up to 3 applications this year depending on the number of fundable applications and availability of funds.
Submission Requirements:
1) NIH-formatted proposal (submitted on NIH Form 398†) (~3000 words (not including references))
• Abstract including significance, specific aims, hypotheses, and background
• Budget justification (see below)
• Experimental design and methods, methods for analyzing results
• Other requirements, including Institutional Review Board (IRB) approval for clinical studies, IACUC approval for animal use, etc.
2) NIH-formatted biosketch
3) One –page project and candidate description (attached)
4) Brief candidate description (~350 words)
Budget:
The proposed budget for each award may be up to $50,000/year.
A second year of funding will be possible with demonstrated productivity.
Awards will be presented during the 2010 Baltimore DRTC Symposium.
