IUSCCC “Near-Miss” NIH R01 Initiative
$$ / IUSCCC
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Rolling Submission
The IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center (IUSCCC) is providing an opportunity to fund cancer focused PI-directed applications to the National Institutes of Health that have been reviewed once and missed the NIH pay line and have a high potential for obtaining external funding. The goal is to increase the cancer focused NIH funding base in the IUSCCC. Non-NCI targeted applications should have significant cancer relevance.
Investigators wishing to apply to this funding mechanism must first submit a draft cover letter (letter of intent) for approval by the IUSCCC Executive Committee before working with a Coordinator to submit a full application. Once approved, the link for submitting the online application will be sent.
Maximum allowable amount for R01, R42 and R44 grants is $50K with P01 and SPORE funding amounts evaluated on a case-by-case basis.

FULL SUBMISSION DEADLINE: Rolling submission Investigators wishing to apply to this funding mechanism must first submit a Letter of Intent for approval to crybanks@iupui.edu Once approved, the link for submitting the online application will be sent.
IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center, Office of Community Outreach and Engagement is inviting collaborative proposals for implementing evidence-based cancer related programs within the community. Proposals should focus on the cancer burden in Indiana. The program should have an evaluation component and priority will be given to one of the major cancer burdens in Indiana including lung, breast, colon, pancreas, prostate and cervical. We are particularly interested in programs that can lower risk behaviors related to cancers which drive cancer incidence and morbidity. Of particular interest are community-led programs that will increase our reach or understanding of the underserved populations in Indiana. The project must be co-led by an IUSCCC faculty member and community advocate or partner.
The duration of this funding is one year, and the budget should not exceed $15,000.

Showalter Trust
DEADLINE FOR ROUTING TO ORA: January 9, 2024 5:00 PM
DEADLINE FOR UPLOADING ORA APPROVED PROPOSAL: January 16, 2024
$$ / IUSM
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.

Early Career Investigator Awards in Clinical - Translational Research (K12)
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: January 11, 2024
E / IU / IUSM / PU / ND
The Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute is requesting applications for K12 Early Career Investigator clinical – translational research proposals.
These awards are designed to provide promising early career faculty investigators the opportunity to be mentored in research-intensive, multi-disciplinary settings toward the goal of developing careers in clinical - translational research. Emphasis of the Indiana CTSI K12 Early Career Investigator Awards in Clinical - Translational Research are 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 clinical - translational research have clear applications to human disease and health outcomes.
For details and eligibility requirements, please see the links below for the full announcement and other supporting documents. Applicants should open and read all of the links under “Files for Investigators” before starting a submission.
Interested applicants are strongly encouraged to send their current CV to Patricia McGuire (pcmcguir@iu.edu) for eligibility pre-screening no later than December 06, 2023.
