Guidelines for Pilot and Feasibility Projects
|
|||||||||||||||||
| Eligibility: Full-time faculty who fall into the following two categories: 1) Junior Faculty (Assistant Professor, Associate Research Scientist) with no current or past NIH funding wishing to develop a career in musculoskeletal disease research; 2) Established investigators who wish to test new ideas related to the research focus of the Core, but which are not directly related to their current research focus. |
|||||||||||||||||
| Application Forms: Submit completed applications in triplicate to Irene Sherman (Internal Medicine/Endocrinology, TAC S-141) or Caren Gundberg (Orthopaedics, Tompkins 5) by the deadline listed below. Type font should be 10 point or larger with standard 1" left and right margins. |
|||||||||||||||||
| Review Process: Submitted proposals will be initially screened by the Core Directors to establish reviewer assignment. Each proposal will be reviewed by one Yale scientist who is a member of the Internal Executive Committee and by two external reviewers. Reviews will follow the NIH guidelines. They will include a list of strengths and weaknesses and will receive a priority score. Final funding decisions will be made by all members of the Internal Executive Committee. Successful applicants will be notified verbally and in writing by the Pilot and Feasibility Director. Unsuccessful applicants will be notified in writing. Written critiques will be made available to all applicants. Should an investigator wish to request a second year of funding for any given project, he/she will be required to submit a progress report, experimental plans and a budget for the second year by the November 30th deadline. These applications will be submitted to each member of the Program Committee, and will be discussed and reviewed when new applications are evaluated. |
|||||||||||||||||
| Funding: Funds will be made available to the Principal Investigator on April 1, 2005. All projects will be terminated if outside funding for the project is awarded. If the investigator leaves Yale, the project may be transferred to a new Principal Investigator at the discretion of the Program Committee. |
|||||||||||||||||
| Progress Reports: All successful applicants will be required to submit a progress report at the end of the study. This should include publications, outside funding and an itemization of skills and collaborative relationships developed as a result of the project. In addition, recipients of funds will be required to present their data at the annual YCCMD symposium. |
