Indiana CTSI – IU Kelley MBA Core & Project Business Management Assistance
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: January 31, 2022
The Indiana CTSI, jointly with the IU Kelley School of Business, is providing an opportunity to receive business management assistance by teams of Kelley School of Business students (2-5 students per project) for any Cores, resources, programs and units that provide a central service to CTSI investigators (see RFA for examples of assistance).
Students are part of the IU Bloomington Kelley residential-MBA program independent study program for course credit and the duration will be 8 weeks. Selected awardees will be expected to engage with the MBA students on the initial project scope (2 hours), additional follow-up or onsite meetings (8-12 hours) and a final project close-out (1-2 hours).
An article highlighting the contributions of previous Kelley MBA student teams to CTSI cores and resources was recently published on the CTSI website.
Selected projects will commence in early March 2022 and will be completed by early May 2022.

LETTER OF INTENT (LOI) SUBMISSION DEADLINE: November 8, 2021 via email to Patty McGuire pcmcguir@iu.edu.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: December 9, 2021 online via link provided by Patty McGuire
The Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute is requesting applications for TL1 Postdoctoral translational research proposals focused on Innovation and Entrepreneurship.
For this funding announcement, the CTSI strongly encourages applications from postdoctoral fellows who have a keen interest in directed training in advancing innovations into commercialization and entrepreneurship. The CTSI postdoctoral fellow will undertake a translational research project focused on the development of life science technology pertaining to health and human disease. The project could include research on the development of therapies, diagnostics, or medical devices. The postdoc will work in an entrepreneurial ecosystem located at one of the four CTSI partner campuses (IUB, IUSM, Purdue, and Notre Dame). The position could involve engagement in commercialization activities pre-company formation, which could include working with mentors to move a technology through their home institutions commercialization or significant work with startup companies including, pharmaceutical and medical device companies. The fellow will work in an environment with mentors who can help the fellow develop the necessary skills to become a successful entrepreneur. The proposal will require advance planning with the innovation center and an already existing relationship and commitment between the center and the trainee.
Submission of a letter of intent is required in order to receive approval for the submission of a full proposal. The letter of intent should address the following elements;
The CTSI will be posting requests for proposals for TL1 Postdoctoral translational research applications for two additional research tracks in early October:

IU Grant Linking Universitywide Expertise (GLUE) Award
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: December 13, 2021
The mission of the Grants Linking University–wide Expertise (GLUE) awards is to support “the planning and team building across campuses to develop of large multi-investigator and/or multi-project, milestone-driven, translational research teams who are planning to eventually submit a multi-year extramural grant applications with annual budgets of $300K or higher in direct costs per year”. Examples of such grants include (but are not limited to) PPGs, U series, multi PI R01s, STTRs and SPORE grants. Applications for GLUE grants are accepted for review at any stage of their development. It is expected that these planning/seed grants will increase multidisciplinary collaborations, institutional competitiveness, opportunities for extramurally funded training grants and overall institutional funding.
The GLUE funding is available to collaborative teams where the lead PI of the research team is from IUB, and the other members of the team are from CTSI affiliate campuses. Applications are expected to have a maximum requested amount $100,000 per year for up to two (2) years.

Showalter Trust
DEADLINE FOR ROUTING TO ORA: January 11, 2022 5:00 PM
DEADLINE FOR UPLOADING ORA APPROVED PROPOSAL: January 18, 2022 11:59 PM
Since 1975, IUSM has received research funding through gifts made possible from the Ralph W. and Grace M. Showalter Research Trust Fund. The areas of appropriate biomedical research, eligible for funding, are broad and described by the benefactors as “the type of medical research that is most likely to permanently benefit mankind.” Donor intent prohibits the use of Showalter Trust funds for research in psychiatry, sociology, or social studies.
Only current full-time faculty (non-visiting status) having a primary appointment in IUSM and a rank of assistant professor or assistant scientist are eligible to apply for funding from the Showalter Research Trust. Note that the same proposal may not be submitted as both a Biomedical Research Grant and a Showalter Trust application. If eligible for both programs, the investigator is encouraged to submit to the Showalter Trust.
Applications for funding from the Ralph W. and Grace M. Showalter Research Trust will be reviewed in two stages. An initial review by the IUSM Biomedical Research Committee (BRC) will select the most meritorious proposals for further discussion and ranking. The BRC will then provide a recommended ranking to the Showalter Trustees who conduct a second review. Final funding decisions are made by the Showalter Trustees.
Applications should have a maximum requested amount of $75,000.

LETTER OF INTENT (LOI) SUBMISSION DEADLINE: November 8, 2021 via email to Patty McGuire Patty McGuire.
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: December 9, 2021 online via link provided by Patty McGuire
For this funding announcement, the Indiana CTSI strongly encourages applications from postdoctoral fellows who have a keen interest in directed training in traditional basic translational science research (T1-T2) or community-public health focused translational science research (T3-T4). These awards are designed to provide promising postdoctoral fellows the opportunity to be mentored in research-intensive, multi-disciplinary settings toward the goal of developing careers in translational research. Emphasis of the Indiana CTSI TL1 Postdoctoral Translational Research Awards is to move findings from basic laboratory and pre-clinical research toward the development of new treatment options or interventions or clinical trials to eventual dissemination or clinical implementation to studying population health outcomes and health metrics. The phases of translational research may not necessarily be linear and can jump steps depending on the research project and the starting point. The goal of the Indiana CTSI is to make awards at all of these stages. It is important that the translational research have clear applications to human disease and health outcomes.
Submission of a letter of intent is required in order to receive approval for the submission of a full proposal. The letter of intent should address the following elements;
