FUNDING RESOURCES- Links to Funding Resources and Updated NIH Forms Available on Case CCC WebsiteThe Case CCC Funding Resources page has links to the following important resources:
Be sure to bookmark the links for easy future reference. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY– DOD Ovarian Cancer Research ProgramThe DOD is accepting applications for Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) Pilot Awards. FY10 OCRP is supporting innovative ideas that will drive the field forward and reduce the burden of ovarian cancer in the future. In addition, the OCRP is promoting unique partnerships and fostering the next generation of investigators in ovarian cancer research. These awards support conceptually innovative, high-risk/high-reward research that could ultimately lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will drive the field of ovarian cancer forward. Research priorities should include a testable hypothesis based on strong scientific rationale. Successful projects should provide a catalyst to expand or modify current thinking and/or approaches in ovarian cancer research. Pre-Application Deadline: March 11 For more information, please click here. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY– CanLiv's 2010 Translational Research Grants ProgramCanLiv, the Hepatobiliary Cancers Foundation, is accepting applications for the 2010 Translational Research Grants Program for Cancers of the Bile Ducts and Gallbladder Young Investigators Award. This award provides funding to promising new investigators to encourage and promote translational research in cancers of the gallbladder and/or bile ducts (cholangiocarcinoma). CanLiv's definition of translational research is hypothesis-driven research that seeks to expand understanding of carcinogenic mechanisms in cancers of the liver, gallbladder and/or bile ducts and has significant likelihood to imminently lead to new therapeutic options for patients. Applicants must hold an MD, DO, PhD or DSci degree, and be in their first to third year of a full time, primary faculty appointment in a clinical, basic, or translational science department at an academic medical institution. For foreign-trained physicians or scientists, equivalency will be determined on a case by case basis. Applicants must be tenure-track scientists at the level of Assistant Professor, but cannot be tenured or under review for tenured academic positions at the time of application submission. Deadline March 5 For details, please click here. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY– ACS Cancer Research FellowshipA Call for Applications was recently released for the ACS Cancer Research Fellowship, which is intended to strengthen the field of cancer research by attracting outstanding clinicians and scientists into careers in oncology upon completion of their specialty training and to engage them in basic or clinical academic cancer research. The fellowship is not intended for those already on a research track. Deadline: March 3 For more information, please click here. shRNA CLONE AVAILABILITYThe Small Molecule Screening Core (SMSC) has negotiated an opportunity to order shRNA clones from Sigma (in the form of glycerol stocks) for LRI and CWRU researchers for a very low price on a per clone basis. To order, please contact Anna Kondratova (kondraa@ccf.org, 445-3503). The next order will be in March, but existing clones can be purchased at any time. Also, the SMSC has small aliquots of secondary antibodies available for purchase; each set is conjugated with DyLight 488 and DyLight 594 fluorescent dyes (Jackson ImmunoResearch Laboratories). The antibodies work well in place of fluorescein/Alexa488 & Texas Red conjugates. Please click here for more information. CALL FOR APPLICATIONS– 2010 NASA Space Radiation Summer SchoolApplications are now being accepted for the 2010 NASA Space Radiation Summer School. Up to 15 students will be selected for the course to be held this summer at the Brookhaven National Laboratory (BNL) in Long Island, NY from May 20 – June 11. The goal of the course is to provide scientific and practical information to students and scientists who are either new to the NASA program or to charged particle radiobiology. At the completion of the summer school, students will have received the full complement of training required to conduct their own experiments at BNL. Both foreign nationals and US citizens may apply to the program. All selected students must satisfy BNL and Department of Energy safety and security requirements in order to be admitted. Due to the intense nature of the course, applicants must demonstrate oral and written proficiency in the English language. Deadline: February 28 For more information, please click here. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY— Title Recovery Act Limited Competition: NIH Director's Opportunity for Research in Five Thematic Areas (RC4)NIH is accepting applications for the "Title Recovery Act Limited Competition: NIH Director's Opportunity for Research in Five Thematic Areas" (RC4) (RFA-OD-10-005). This program will support projects that address research endeavors in specific areas that will benefit from significant three-year funds without the expectation of continued NIH funding beyond this period. The research supported by the program should have high short-term impact, and a high likelihood of enabling growth and investment in biomedical research and development, public health, and health care delivery. This FOA solicits applications proposing to develop and implement critical research innovations in one or more of the following five thematic areas:
Only applications for projects that require $500,000 or more in total costs per year are expected to be considered for funding. LOI Deadline: February 15 (requested, not required) For details, please click here. Case CCC Leadership would like to review potential responses, and can assist in developing themes as responsive to the RFA. |
