The timeline for submitting grant applications in response to funding opportunity announcements (FOAs) is often short. Getting information early in the process allows researchers more lead time to start formulating applications.
Clinical Research Pilot Projects Program
The RCMI Coordinating Center (RCMI-CC) offers a Clinical Research Pilot Projects Program that provides funding on a competitive basis for hypothesis-driven clinical research projects led by inter-institutional collaborative teams of multiple principal investigators (MPI) from two or more RCMI U54 Centers, along with at least one Mentor and at least one Collaborator from RCMI and/or non-RCMI grantee institutions. A Mentoring Plan, a Communications Plan, and a timetable for seeking extramural funding are required, as are letters of support from the Mentor(s), Collaborator(s), Core Director(s), and Principal Investigators of the partnering RCMI U54 Centers. Although
applications are now closed for the current cycle, please check back for the next round of applications.
