Cross-Campus Collaborative Research Fund (CCCRF)Deadline: March 6, 2009The Cross-Campus Collaborative Research Fund (CCCRF) aims to stimulate pilot research projects between School of Medicine and Reynolda Campus faculty that will generate extramural funding for both institutions. Up to $20,000 ($25,000 if applying for IIEF) will be awarded for each project, with a potential additional $5,000 supplement from the Interdisciplinary Innovation and Entrepreneurship Fund (IIEF). The number of projects awarded is contingent on the availability of funds. The project period is 1 year, with the possibility of a 1-year, no-cost extension. When the grant is awarded, accounts will be established on each campus and the budget divided accordingly. Funds will be disbursed on the written authority of the investigators or designated representatives. Unless an extension (without additional funds) is requested in writing 10 days prior to the end date, any unexpended balance will be returned to the main account. Within 90 days after the grant terminates, a final progress report must be submitted to the Reynolda Campus Office of Research and Sponsored Programs. It should describe how the CCCRF contributed to the preparation and/or funding of extramural grant applications. ELIGIBILITY Applications will be evaluated on scientific merit, originality, significance, potential to generate extramural funding, and the benefits of, and need for, the collaboration. INTERDISCIPLINARY INNOVATION AND ENTREPRENEURSHIP FUND (IIEF) SUPPLEMENTS http://entrepreneurship.wfu.edu/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=99&Itemid=79 Projects with entrepreneurial potential will be considered for up to a $5,000 supplement on top of the $20,000 CCCRF awards, contingent on availability of funds. Check the appropriate box on the application form and attach an additional one page narrative addressing these 3 questions:
Applications to the IIEF should contain
a separate budget page covering the entrepreneurial aspects of the
project. Allowable expenses include, but are not limited to, technical
assistance, consultant costs, marketing analyses, attendance at
entrepreneurial meetings, and web site development. For more information
see the call for proposals at the link above. APPLICATION I. Cover Form - The 2-page cover form should be completed and signed by both principal investigators and their respective department chairs.
II. Project Description - The proposal should be sufficiently detailed to be clear to a committee of general scientists. Figures, tables, and other graphic representations may be included to enhance clarity.
III. Personnel - Designate all associates, research assistants, technicians, or students involved in the project and describe their expertise. IV. Research Support - List facilities, equipment, and funding from other sources. If departmental or other support is available or pending, explain the need for CCCRF support. V. Budget - ($20,000 maximum, $25,000 if applying to the IIEF) Funds can be requested for research supplies and services, technical assistance, publication expenses, equipment, animal costs, and travel between campuses, including parking fees. If funds are requested to support technical staff, include appropriate fringe benefits. Attach a detailed budget and a budget justification page. If additional funding will be needed for the collaboration, indicate the source and amount of this support. Clarify how the budget will be divided between the two campuses. VI. Biosketch - Attach a current biosketch, in NIH format, for each principal investigator. Applications to CCCRF in spring 2009 will be coordinated by the Medical School Office of Research. Please email a complete copy of the application form and proposal as one (1) pdf file to Susan Edwards(edwardss@wfu.edu) and Penny Gatsis (pgatsis@wfubmc.edu). In addition, submit the signed original and 3 paper copies no later than 5 P.M. on March 6, 2009 to the research office on either campus. A copy of the signed cover form must be attached to each copy. Please allow several weeks for the review process. Reynolda Campus:
