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.

NOTICE OF INTENT (NOI) SUBMISSION DEADLINE: August 14, 2023 emailed to crybanks@iupui.edu
EXTENDED SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 16, 2023
IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center is inviting proposals for pilot/feasibility research projects focused on how demographics, social determinants of health, comorbidities (obesity, diabetes, hypertension etc.) and behaviors (tobacco use, screening, preventive measures such as vaccination, diet and exercise) affect cancer risk, diagnosis and treatment and survivorship.

Priority is given to proposals that span research programs or include patient advocates as part of the research team .
The duration of this pilot funding is one year, and the budget should not exceed $50,000.
Investigators wishing to apply to this funding mechanism must first submit a Notice of Intent for approval to crybanks@iupui.edu Once approved, the link for submitting the online application will be sent.

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.

IU Grant Linking Universitywide Expertise (GLUE) Award
$$$ / C / IUSM / IU / ND / PU
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 31, 2023
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 Indiana CTSI affiliate campuses. Applications are expected to have a maximum requested amount 100,000 per year for up to two years.

CTSI Postdoctoral Training Awards in Translational Research (T32)
E / IUSM / IU / PU / ND
SUBMISSION DEADLINE: October 26, 2023
The Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute (CTSI) T32 Postdoctoral Training Awards, funded in part by NCATS, are designed to provide promising postdoctoral fellows with the opportunity to be mentored in research-intensive multi-disciplinary settings toward the goal of developing careers across the spectrum of translational research.
Emphasis of CTSI postdoctoral training awards in translational research are to move findings from basic laboratory and pre-clinical research (referred to as T1 research) toward the development of new treatment options or interventions or clinical trials (referred to as T2 research) to eventual dissemination or clinical implementation (referred to as T3 research) to studying population health outcomes and health metrics (referred to as T4 research). 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 CTSI is to make awards at all of these stages.
Funding for all postdoctoral training awards is for up to two years (with the 2nd year of funding contingent upon review and demonstration of satisfactory progress). Benefits include salary support as well as health insurance and research training related expenses.
Applications will be accepted for two tracks:
- Community- Public Health Track: Available for those postdoctoral fellows who have a keen interest for directed training in T3 to T4 translational research in the areas of clinical, health care delivery, public health, population health, or community or policy based efforts. It is important that the translational research have clear applications to human disease and health outcomes.
- Traditional Track: Available for postdoctoral fellows who have an interest in undertaking a translational research project tailored to his or her interests while working in a research environment with mentors who can help the fellow develop the necessary skills to become a successful translational science researcher.

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.
