The Case Comprehensive Cancer Center (Case CCC) is offering just-in-time seed funding to support the resubmission of highly competitive grant applications that narrowly missed the payline at national funding agencies and the submission of P01/SPORE applications. Priority will be given to applicants whose R01 proposals scored at or below the 20th percentile, as well as applicants requiring support to generate key data for a main project in a P01/SPORE submission.
Award Description
- Applications will be accepted and awarded on a rolling basis.
- R01 applications need to score at or below the 20th percentile, with resubmission expected within one year.
- P01/SPORE applications must submit their proposals within one year.
- Awards will be funded at $25,000 for a one-year period.
- Funds must be expended within the 12 month funding period, as no-cost extensions will not be granted.
Funding Criteria
- Open to all Case CCC members.
- Projects must demonstrate high competitiveness with outstanding scientific merit and impact.
- Applicants will work directly with the Pilot Advisory Committee (PAC) in reviewing the summary statement, planning experimentation, and revising the application to fully address the criticisms and concerns raised by the review panel
- All funds for shared resources must involve Case CCC facilities unless the use of a shared resource(s) at another NCI-funded institution is sufficiently justified.
Application
Applications are accepted and awarded on a rolling basis.
