Department of Defense (DOD) Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Research Program (TSCRP) The Department of Defense (DOD) Tuberous Sclerosis Complex Research Program (TSCRP) promotes innovative research focused on decreasing the clinical impact of tuberous sclerosis complex (TSC). Detailed descriptions of each of the funding mechanisms, evaluation criteria, and submission requirements can be found in the FY10 TSCRP Program Announcements. Each Program Announcement is available electronically for downloading from the Grants.gov website (http://grants.gov), the CDMRP website and the CDMRP eReceipt Website (https://cdmrp.org). Submission Deadlines: Idea Development Award Career Transition Award Exploration - Hypothesis Development Award
INTERNAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Monday, April 12, 2010 The Edward Mallinckrodt Jr. Foundation provides awards three times
a year "for the purpose of advancing knowledge in the various
fields of medical and health research." These grants are start-up
funds for established investigators or senior faculty to move research
projects forward to the point of obtaining other independent funding
or support for highly promising young investigators during a time
when start-up funds are limited. Awards are made in the amount of
$50K-$70K per year for a period of three years. Both basic science
and clinical research proposals are considered. This Foundation does
not support projects in progress or those projects already receiving
significant funding, and it will not provide funding beyond the initial
three-year period.
Each applicant should expect to receive
a confirmation of receipt of their materials within 48 hours. If you
do not receive such an acknowledgement, please contat Karen Justice-Falter
directly at: (410) 502-2132 or by e-mail. Selected candidates will be
notified as soon as possible. Completed applications must be received
by the Mallinckrodt Foundation via e-mail no later than Saturday, May
1, 2010. The Department of Defense (DOD) Neurofibromatosis Research Program (NFRP) promotes the understanding, diagnosis, and treatment of neurofibromatosis. Detailed descriptions of each of the funding mechanisms, evaluation criteria, and submission requirements can be found in the FY10 NFRP Program Announcements. Each Program Announcement is available electronically for downloading from the Grants.gov website (http://grants.gov), the CDMRP website and the CDMRP eReceipt Website (https://cdmrp.org). Exploration-Hypothesis Development Awards,
New Investigator Awards, Postdoctoral Traineeship Awards:
The Fiscal Year 2010 (FY10) Defense Appropriations
Act provides $80 million to the Department of Defense Prostate Cancer
Research Program (PCRP) to fund research that will eliminate death and
suffering from prostate cancer. Each Program Announcement is available
electronically for downloading from the Grants.gov website (http://www.grants.gov),
the CDMRP website and the CDMRP eReceipt Website (https://cdmrp.org). Submission Deadlines: Health Disparity Research Award Health Disparity Training Award Laboratory-Clinical Transition Award Physician Research Training Award Population-Based Research Award Prostate Cancer Training Award INTERNAL SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Monday, May 3, 2010 The W. W. Smith Charitable Trust awards research
grants in three areas--heart, cancer and AIDS research. It provides
support for young investigators in universities, hospitals and research
centers to pursue medical research projects that it considers to be
"unique and meritorious" and that are not likely to receive
funding from government organizations. Awards are generally a maximum
of $100k a year (including institutional overhead, which the Trust limits
to ten percent of the total budget) for up to three years. Applicants
must be U.S. citizens or provide "notarized, valid visa and alien
registration." Additional program information can be obtained on
the W.W. Smith Web site.
Each applicant should expect to receive
a confirmation of receipt of their materials within 48 hours. If you
do not receive such an acknowledgement, please contact Mike Alexander
by phone (410-516-8734) or email (malexander@jhu.edu).
Selected candidates will be informed as soon as possible. The final
nomination must be submitted to the W.W. Smith Charitable Trust by the
Tuesday, June 15, 2010 deadline. Please contact Mike Alexander
with any questions.
The first round of applications has been announced for this new program devoted to Transformative Science grants. Transformative science is defined as "research driven by ideas that have potential to radically change our understanding of an important scientific concept, or lead to the creation of a new paradigm, or a new field of science. Such research is also characterized by its challenge to current understanding or by its pathways to new frontiers." Proposals will be evaluated first and foremost on their transformative nature, but must also exhibit scientific excellence. A large number of applications are expected, so BSF urges you to apply only if you consider your idea to be a truly important scientific breakthrough. Applications must be submitted jointly by at least one Israeli and one American scientist, as required in all BSF programs. The projects may be up to 3 years in duration, and will receive up to $100,000/year, which may be divided among the PIs, according to their preference. Pre-proposals must be submitted online using
the relevant BSF submission system by May 11, 2010. The BSF website
will be open for submission on April 12, 2010. Applicants are requested
to acquaint themselves with the BSF regulations before they submit an
application, and are encouraged to discuss the proposal with the BSF
management, Dr. Yair Rotstein (yair@bsf.org.il)
or Dr. Rachel (Heni) Haring (heni@bsf.org.il). For complete details of the new program and submission instructions please consult the BSF website (www.bsf.org.il) under "Guidelines & Forms."
The vision of the FY10 ARP is to improve
the lives of individuals with autism spectrum disorders (ASD) now. The
ARP has released the final of its four program announcements planned
for Fiscal Year 2010: The ARP Exploration-Hypothesis Development
Award. This award supports the initial exploration of untested,
novel, innovative, and potentially groundbreaking concepts, theories,
paradigms, and/or methods that address an important issue in autism
research. Results of studies conducted through this award may provide
the scientific rationale upon which a new hypothesis can be based, or
initial proof-of-principle of an innovative hypothesis. This award mechanism
is not intended to support the continuation of existing studies. This
award is designed to provide investigators with the opportunity to pursue
serendipitous observations that may reveal entirely new avenues for
investigation. The existence of substantial preliminary data suggests
that the proposed research does not meet the intent of this award mechanism.
Therefore, the inclusion of preliminary data is not allowed. Full Program Announcements, Application Instructions
and deadlines are available on the CDMRP website. The Synopsis Table
with deadlines is also on the website: http://cdmrp.army.mil/funding/pdf/10arpreftable.pdf. Award Mechanism Deadlines:
The Department of Defense (DOD) Breast Cancer
Research Program (BCRP) promotes innovative research focused on eradicating
breast cancer. Detailed descriptions of each of the funding mechanisms,

electronically for downloading from the Grants.gov website (http://www.grants.gov),
the CDMRP website and the CDMRP eReceipt Website (https://cdmrp.org). Submission Deadlines: Era of Hope Scholar Award, Innovator Award,
