HHMI Investigator Competition 2008 HHMI Submission Deadline: June 13, 2007 The Howard Hughes Medical Institute (HHMI) is holding a national competition for investigators and plans to name as many as 50 new researchers by spring 2008. This competition will strengthen HHMI's community of researchers and fund new approaches to the research of biological problems not only in the biomedical disciplines but in related fields including chemistry, physics and biophysics, biomedical engineering, and computational biology. This is the first time that HHMI has offered a general competition with a direct application process. Successful candidates must meet the following criteria:
Detailed information - including access to the secure application site - may be found at the HHMI web site: www.hhmi.org/research/competitions/investigator2008 Please Note: Due to the nature of the
HHMI Investigator program, SOM ORA does not need to review applications.
However, Grace Bigelow in the Provost's office is tracking the Hopkins
applicants and requests that copies of completed applications are forwarded
to her via email at graceb@jhu.edu.
Internal Deadline: 6/20/07 The Burroughs Wellcome Fund (BWF) Clinical Scientist Awards in Translational Research provide $750,000 over a period of five years ($150,000 per year) to faculty at the Assistant or early Associate Professor level. The purpose of this research program is to develop and increase the productivity of established physician-scientists who bring new approaches to translational research and are mentoring the next generation of physician-scientists. For the purposes of this award, translational research includes studies which involve etiology, pathogenesis, and mechanisms of disease; clinical knowledge and improved diagnosis; and disease management, molecular epidemiology, and limited small-scale clinical trials that provide evidence for effectiveness of therapy. The BWF will allow the School of Medicine to nominate up to FOUR (4) candidates to the program. Of these four candidates, the foundation requires that at least one candidate is female and one candidate is a member of the following minority groups: African American, Hispanic, or Native American. Each Department Chair may nominate ONE (1) candidate to the internal selection committee for consideration. Nominations must include a letter from the Department
chair, an NIH-style biosketch, a one-page abstract of the nominee's clinical
research program, and the cover sheet located here: http://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/research/ora/funding/tools/BWF_Cover_Sheet.doc. Additional details regarding this program are posted on the BWF website at: http://www.bwfund.org/programs/translational/clinical_scientists_main.html. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Application Deadline: June 26, 2007 The American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is Now Accepting Applications for the 2007 Jeannik M. Littlefield-AACR Grants in Metastatic Colon Cancer Research. These grants will provide support for innovative cancer research projects designed to accelerate the discovery and development of new agents to treat metastatic colon cancer and/or for pre-clinical research with direct therapeutic intent. Special emphasis will be placed on research that holds promise for leading to individualized therapeutic options for treatment in the near future or for developing promising new cancer therapeutics for metastatic colon cancer, which will translate into clinical applications within a one- to two-year period. Grants will be provided in an amount between $500,000 to $1,000,000. The AACR will award 3-5 grants in 2007. For information about eligibility, the grant terms, and application instructions, please visit the AACR website ( http://www.aacr.org/home/scientists/travel-grants--research-funding/research-funding/littlefield-aacr-grants-for-metastatic-colon-cancer-research.aspx )or visit proposalCENTRAL ( https://v2.ramscompany.com/default.asp ) to access the online application. Inquiries may be directed to Ms. Julia Laurence at awards@aacr.org. Julia Laurence Application Deadline: July 18, 2007 "Disruptive Innovations in Health and Health Care," an online, open source competition co-sponsored by the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation and Changemakers, seeks to identify ways in which the health and health care marketplace can offer services, tools and choices that consumers want-but are currently out of reach because of cost, complexity, or because the right idea hasn't come along. Innovators submit their ideas on the Changemakers web site and the Changemakers community provides feedback on the problem and proposed solutions. Twelve competition finalists will be selected by a distinguished panel of judges. The Changemakers community will then vote on the competition site for three winners, who each will receive a $5,000 award from Changemakers. In addition, RWJF's Pioneer Portfolio will review competition entries and may award up to $5 million to support projects with potential for the greatest impact.
