Pilot Projects Available Thursday, July 29, 2010 3:32 PM
	Cervical Cancer SPORE Several pilot project grants are now available to support new projects in cervical cancer-related research. Funds for the pilot project program are provided by our NCI Cervical Cancer SPORE grant. Guidelines for submission are attached. Grants must be submitted electronically. Deadline: Friday, July 30, 2010, 1 Day(s) Left to Register Contact: Lucy Wangaruro, 4105028214 Download Application | View Guidelines Cervical Cancer Career Development Career Development Awards are now available to support new investigators interested in cervical cancer related research. Priority will be given to translational research investigators. Basic research investigators who demonstrate interest in future clinical translation will also be considered. Funds for the career development awards are provided by our NCI Cervical Cancer SPORE grant. Deadline: Friday, July 30, 2010, 1 Day(s) Left to Register Contact: Lucy Wangaruro, 4105028214 Download Application | View Guidelines The Pilot and Feasibility Program The Pilot and Feasibility Program is a special feature of the O'Brien Urology Research Center application that allows sponsored institutions to fund important new pilot projects with promising potential, but would have difficulty in providing sufficient preliminary data for an independently funded NIH grant. This is a crucial part of our Center as it provides a pipeline and testing ground for novel substrates for translational impact. These projects are intended to last one year with the possibility of a second year of support with the demonstration of sufficient progress and are budgeted with the intention of that the majority of the funds be spent on supplies, rather than salary support. To be eligible, the applicant must have a current academic appointment at any of the Johns Hopkins Medical Institutions, Howard University or University of Maryland. Applicants must hold an M.D., or Ph.D. degree or both. The applicants are expected to provide evidence of a significant research commitment (at least 15% effort commitment) to ensure that the proposal can in fact be addressed in an effective and productive way. A minimum of two developmental research projects will be funded annually partially by funds supported through the O’Brien Center mechanism but more substantially through an Institutional cost-sharing effort by which we are committing at least $200,000 per year to further support these projects.

This program funds important new pilot projects with promising translational potential that do not have sufficient data for an independently funded NIH grant. Projects of high priority should focus on new research directions, explore innovative ideas, test unconventional, but potentially important, new hypotheses, or ascertain the feasibility of new research approaches.
