Pilot proposals: RFA to Integrate Aging and Cancer Research in the
FHCRC/UW Cancer Center
Draft proposals due: December 13, 2002
RFA url: http://www3.cancer.gov/cancercenters/announcements/agingRFA.pdf
Dear FHCRC/UW cancer and aging investigators,
We are soliciting your help in assembling an application from our Cancer
Center to obtain a NCI/NIA grant to develop a formal program to integrate
aging and cancer research. This program will provide up to $500,000
annual direct costs, including funding for pilot projects (up to $100,000
direct per year for two years) in clinical, public health or basic biology
research themes in aging and cancer (further details below). The strength
of our application depends in large part on the breadth and depth of
our pilot applications. We invite you to submit a proposal in one of
two formats:
1. A brief example of a potential pilot project in one of the thematic
areas. This should be no more than a few paragraphs, but it should provide
peer reviewers with enough information to judge the potential of the
planning activity to generate state-of-the-art research and a stable
research base that will develop into a strong cancer center "Program.
2. If you are ready to submit a full pilot proposal for funding, submit
a title, abstract, specific aims and a paragraph description of how
the project falls within one of the thematic areas and addresses one
or more of the research priorities described at <http://nia.nih.gov/health/nianci>
(limit 5 pages).
Each pilot project that is funded must be led by an investigator whose
research background clearly bridges aging and cancer research OR by
co-investigators, one who has a track record in cancer research and
another with a track record in aging research.
Draft versions of these project descriptions are due December 13. Final
versions are due January 3, 2003. Please forward your proposal to Heather
York, Box 358080, D1-060, Office of the Director, FHCRC.
The full Request for Applications (RFA CA-03-504) is available at http://www3.cancer.gov/cancercenters/announcements/agingRFA.pdf.

Office of Research deadline: December 13, 2002
NSF 01-171: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2002/nsf01171/nsf01171.html
NSF has announced its 2003 Major Research Instrumentation (MRI) Program
to increase access to scientific and engineering equipment for research
and research training in academic institutions. Proposals may be for
a single instrument, a large system of instruments, or multiple instruments
that share a common or specific research focus. (The program will not
support renovation or modernization of research facilities or fixed
equipment.) Approximately $75 million has been allocated for awards
ranging from $100,000 to $2 million. For FY 2002, the overall proposal
funding rate was 40%.
The University can submit two proposals for instrument acquisition,
plus a third for instrument development, thus there may be substantial
competition for the privilege of preparing an application. The screening
and selection of preproposals is being handled through the Office of
the Vice Provost for Research, and each submission from Schools and
Colleges must be signed off by the Chair and Dean. The requirement for
matching is a substantial hurdle. It is recommended that you initiate
internal discussions at the Department and School level as soon as possible.
Each potential PI should prepare a letter of intent to include an abstract
of the proposal, the type of instrument acquisition or development (identify
category) to be requested, the approximate dollar value, and the source
of the required cost sharing. This letter (plus 10 copies) should be
submitted to the Department Chair (signature required) and forwarded
to the Office of Research and Graduate Education (RGE), A-300 HSC, Box
356340, by Tuesday, December 10. Submission will be reviewed, co-signed
and delivered to the Vice Provost Craig Hogan for the internal deadline
of December 13. The three invited proposals must be submitted electronically
via FastLane to GCS (with required GC-1 form) no later than January
16, 2003.
