The Oklahoma Tobacco Research Center (OTRC) is soliciting applications for seed grant funding for FY 2009, the program’s first annual funding cycle. For its first year, applications are invited for Research Projects for Junior Investigators, which includes new research ideas and the collection of preliminary data that will enable investigators to compete successfully for national research grants. A Principal Investigator (PI) is considered a Junior Investigator if he/she has not previously competed successfully as PI for a significant NIH independent research award (such as an R01).
There will be approximately $150,000 available for FY09. OTRC expects to fund three to six proposals in FY09, with a maximum term of one year. Only applications screened as relevant to OTRC’s mission will be accepted for review. All relevant applications will compete for funding. An assigned scientific merit score produced through a peer-review process is used in the decision. Applications are due May 15, 2008. For the full set of application instructions and materials, see below, or contact Laura DeLongy at laura-delongy@ouhsc.edu.
