Deadlines: Letter of Intent: December 9, 2009; Proposal: January 8, 2010. Go to: http://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-RM-09-002.html

Cancer Research

Bankhead-Coley Cancer Research Program - Cancer Grants
The Bankhead-Coley Cancer Research Program plans to issue four Calls for Grant Applications on or around December 1, 2009. Grants will be awarded to Florida-based universities, established research institutions, and eligible small businesses for the study of cancer, including prevention, diagnoses, treatments, and cures. Beginning in the 2009-2010 fiscal year (FY), the Program will receive 2.5%, not to exceed $25 million, of the revenue deposited into the Health Care Trust Fund from the cigarette fee imposed by section (s.) 210.02, Florida Statutes (F.S.). There will be four new Calls as listed below.

1. New Investigator Research (NIR) Grants - The intent of this grant mechanism is to foster development of new investigators so that they can undertake independent research that is competitive for national research funding. New investigators must have been full-time faculty for no more than six (6) years and must work under the mentorship of a senior investigator. The maximum annual award for NIR grants is $135,000 per year, not to exceed $400,000 over a 36-month period (amounts subject to change).

2. Team Science Program (TSP) Grants - The purpose of this grant mechanism is to support a broadly based, multi-disciplinary research program with a well-defined major objective or theme addressing the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and/or cure of cancer and resulting in application at the national level to continue the research program over the long-term. The TSP project must consist of at least three and no more than five interrelated individual research projects led by a Project Director. At least one project must be translational/clinical in nature. An eligible institution can submit two intra-institutional (single institution meeting the required financial match) TSP applications and an unlimited number of inter-institutional (more than one eligible institution contributing to the required match) TSP application. Institutional matching funds must be at least 25% of the grant direct cost amount. The maximum award for TSP grants is $500,000 per year, not to exceed $1,500,000 over two or three years (amounts subject to change). An institutional match of at least 25% of the grant direct cost amount is required.

3. Postdoctoral Research Fellowship (PRF) - The purpose of this fellowship is to (a) attract scientists into careers addressing important research questions about cancer; (b) provide support to promising postdoctoral researchers who have the potential to become productive and successful independent investigators in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment, and/or cure of cancer. The award amount includes a stipend and allowance and is dependent on the length of clinical training since attaining doctoral degree. Awards are for a period of up to 48 months (depending on time since doctoral degree).

4. Research Program Grants (RPG) - The intent of this grant mechanism is to encourage two specific areas of cancer research: translational research and health disparities research. These grants are for the conduct of specific research projects that are hypothesis driven. RPG projects must be fully developed, scientifically rigorous, and include sound background information, hypotheses, and promising preliminary studies or supporting data. The RPG is open to investigators at eligible institutions regardless of experience or past funding track record. The maximum annual award for RPG is $275,000 per year, not to exceed $1,500,000 over a 60-month period (amounts subject to change).

In addition to the above four Calls, there is an Open Call for Applications for Technology Transfer/Commercialization Partnership (TTCP) Grants - The intent of this grant mechanism is to: encourage the long-term collaboration of investigators at eligible institutions and Florida small businesses; stimulate technology transfer activities for promising research discoveries that could lead to innovations in the prevention, diagnosis, treatment or cure of cancer; and/or strengthen a project's economic feasibility and commercialization prospects. TTCP Grants may be used to establish the technical/scientific merit and feasibility of the proposed research and development efforts so that the project may become competitive for further SBIR/STTR-type national-level development funding; it may also be used to develop training materials for the dissemination of new and novel practices or treatments. Applications will be accepted from Florida small businesses AND established Florida research institutions. The maximum award for TTCP grants is $100,000 over a 12-month period.

All four Calls for Grant Applications will be released on or around December 1, 2009, and will be posted on the Program website http://www.floridabiomed.com. In addition, an announcement will be e-mailed on or around that same day to all original recipients of this e-mail and any new subscribers. The application submission deadline for NIR, TSP, PRF, and RPG Grant applications is expected to be February 12, 2010. Awarded grants are anticipated to begin on or around July 1, 2010.

NSF - New Initiatives to Bolster Science and Technology Collaboration with Muslim Communities around the World
"In remarks at the Forum for the Future in Marrakech today, U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton announced new initiatives to bolster science and technology collaboration with Muslim communities around the world. The Secretary named Dr. Bruce Alberts, Dr. Elias Zerhouni, and Dr. Ahmed Zewail as the first three U.S. Science and Technology Envoys and announced that the State Department will expand positions for environment, science, technology, and health officers at U.S. embassies. 'We want to help Muslim majority communities develop the capacity to meet economic, social and ecological challenges through science, technology, and innovation,' Secretary Clinton said. The U.S. Science Envoy program is part of President Obama's "New Beginning" initiative with Muslim communities around the world that he launched in a June 4 speech in Cairo, Egypt. He pledged that the United States would "appoint new science envoys to collaborate on programs that develop new sources of energy, create green jobs, digitize records, clean water, and grow new crops. The initiative received key support from the Senate Foreign Relations Committee and Senator Richard Lugar. "In the coming months, the first Science Envoys will travel to countries in North Africa, the Middle East, and South and Southeast Asia. They will engage their counterparts, deepen partnerships in all areas of science and technology, and foster meaningful collaboration to meet the greatest challenges facing the world today in health, energy, the environment, as well as in water and resource management. Additional U.S. scientists and engineers will be invited to join the Science Envoy program to expand it to other Muslim countries and regions of the globe." "The envoys will be supported by new embassy officers who will also engage with international partners on the full range of environmental, scientific and health issues, from climate change and the protection of oceans and wildlife to cooperation on satellites and global positioning systems. They will work with multilateral institutions, non-governmental organizations and private sector partners to promote responsible environmental governance, foster innovation, and increase public engagement on shared environmental and health challenges."
