New JHU Web Site Features Private Funding Opportunities Medical faculty can now find current funding opportunities
from foundations and other private sources at a new Web site provided
by JHU's Corporate and Foundations Relations. The online resource is
a quick and easy reference for faculty, listing selected competitions
in order of deadline, with links to each funder's application information.
Current medical-related RFPs listed on the site - including funding
opportunities relevant to both clinical and basic science research -
range from HIV/AIDS research fellowships to childhood obesity prevention
to patient safety research. These competitions are in addition to the
limited-submission RFPs periodically announced by the university's Research
Administration office. Please bookmark the Selected Grant Competitions
site at http://jhuresearch.jhu.edu/OCFR.htm
as it is updated frequently. The Fiscal Year 2009 (FY09) Defense Appropriations
Act provides $16 million to the Department of Defense Peer Reviewed
Cancer Research Program (PRCRP) to support innovative research to eradicate
cancers not addressed by the Breast Cancer Research Program, the Prostate
Cancer Research Program, or the Ovarian Cancer Research Program. This
program is administered by the U.S. Army Medical Research and Materiel
Command through the Office of the Congressionally Directed Medical Research
Programs (CDMRP). Detailed descriptions of each of the funding mechanisms,
evaluation criteria, and submission requirements can be found in the
FY09 PRCRP Program Announcements. Each Program Announcement is available
electronically for downloading from the Grants.gov website (http://www.grants.gov),
the CDMRP website (http://cdmrp.army.mil/funding/prcrp.htm)
and the CDMRP eReceipt Website (https://cdmrp.org). Internal deadline: Friday, July 17, 2009 The Searle Scholars Program aims to support high-risk
research of outstanding young faculty in the biomedical sciences. This
focus includes, but is not limited to, awards supporting research in
biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, immunology, neuroscience, pharmacology,
and related areas in chemistry, medicine, and the biological sciences.
Applicants must be in the first or second year of their first appointment
as an assistant professor on a tenure track. Funding is $300K during the course of a three-year period, with $100,000 paid each year pending acceptance of an annual progress report. Up to 25% of an individual's salary may be charged to the grant, together with allowable fringe benefits. Total salary plus benefits charged to the Scholar may not exceed $25,000. See the URL below for other stipulations. Johns Hopkins has been invited to submit two (2) applications for the Searle Scholars Program. For further details about the program and its guidelines, consult: http://www.searlescholars.net. The deadline to submit preliminary applications for internal review is 4 p.m., Friday, July 17, 2009. Interested applicants should send via e-mail their internal application to Barbara Christen at bsc2@jhu.edu, with the subject line of "Searle Scholars Program 2009." Please submit the following documents in sequence as one PDF:
Within 48 hours, applicants can expect to receive an e-mail confirmation of receipt. If you do not receive such an acknowledgement, please contact Dr. Christen at: (410) 516-5256 or by e-mail. Final applications must be received by the Searle Scholars Program via an online process by Friday, September 25, 2009. Contact Barbara Christen with any questions at (410) 516-5256 or bsc2@jhu.edu.
Internal deadline: Friday, July 31, 2009 The Pew Scholars Program in the Biomedical Sciences
supports young investigators of outstanding promise in the basic and
clinical sciences related to the advancement of human health. The Pew
Charitable Trusts especially encourages researchers to pursue creative,
innovative, and risk-taking approaches, and gives considerable weight
to the candidate's history as an independent investigator and to significant
published work. The program award of $60K each year for a period
of four years may be used for personnel, equipment, supplies, or travel.
But no more than $10K a year may be used for the Scholar's salary, including
fringe benefits. Overhead is limited to 8% of the total award. Note:
Pew Scholars cannot concurrently be supported by similar private
foundation awards in excess of $50K a year for the first two years of
the Pew program. Funding from the NIH and other government sources and
grants from non-profit associations do not pose a conflict. Johns Hopkins University can nominate one (1) candidate for this award. Applicants must hold a doctorate in medicine, other health-related professions, or biomedical sciences and must possess a full-time appointment at the rank of assistant professor or equivalent. By July 1, 2010, the candidate cannot have been in such an appointment for more than three years. (Time spent at more than one institution and in clinical internships, residencies, or work toward board certification does not count.) Previous candidates who have not been selected may apply for this year's award providing they meet current criteria. All applicants must be initially nominated by Johns Hopkins before they can proceed with the final application. For further general information about the program, please consult: http://www.pewtrusts.org/our_work_category.aspx?id=194. The deadline to submit preliminary applications for internal review is 4 p.m., Friday, July 31, 2009. Interested applicants should send via e-mail their internal application to Barbara Christen at bsc2@jhu.edu, with the subject line of "Pew Scholars Program 2009."
