Solicitation for Pilot and SCRDA study award grants for Year 3 - 3rd Cycle will be open on August 06, 2010

The STSI Pilot/Methodological grants consist of awards for approximately $50,000 of direct funds directly relating to translational research that has the potential to impact the future of medicine. The submission information has not changed for the Pilot awards, except that if you are submitting for a pilot AND are a Scripps Health Investigator you may also concurrently submit for a SCRDA award for your project, similar to matching funds. There is a checkbox on the cover page of the application denoting this type of submission. There is also a new section containing justification for the use of both awards to complete your proposal. SEE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPECIFIC DETAILS.

The Scripps Clinical Research Developmental Award (SCRDA) is a Scripps Health internal grant program designed to foster clinical research within the organization. The intent of the research award is to fund clinical research projects that, if successful, will be competitive for larger externally funded research grants, such as those from the NIH and other organizations. Only Scripps Health Investigators are eligible to apply for the SCRDA awards. Scripps Health Investigators may apply concurrently for a pilot award to supplement the aims of their proposal, similar to matching funds. A justification for this type of combined proposal is now included on the SCRDA application. SEE INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPECIFIC DETAILS.

STSI requires applicants to submit a Letter of Intent (LOI) for both the Pilot and SCRDA programs. In this letter, Principal Investigators are encouraged to give a brief outline of their project and collaborations (no more than one page) and include their contact information and liasions if available. More information on the format for the LOI can be found in the Application Instructions.
