CTSI Precision Health Initiative Pilot Funding Opportunity

Applications accepted through May 15, 2020

Attend an information session on April 28 (details below)

As part of the Clinical and Translational Science Award collaboration between the University of Florida and Florida State University, we welcome proposals in response to this RFA that support the development of methods, interventions or integrative models with the potential to advance precision health.

Precision Health Pilot Projects may involve any combination of multisource data, including but not limited to molecular (e.g., genomics, metabolomics, proteomics); imaging (e.g., MRI, pathology slides, or dermatology images); patient-generated (e.g., mobile health devices or apps); clinical (e.g., electronic health records or devices, insurance claims); public health surveillance; social determinants of health; economic; or environmental.

See below for details on an upcoming information session and resources that might be helpful to applicants.

Funding and awards

Pilot project grants are one-year competitive awards, up to $50,000, to provide funding for early stage projects. Funding priority for this year’s program will be given to meritorious proposals utilizing OneFlorida data.

Eligibility

  *   This call is open to investigators at UF and Florida State University (FSU). Applicants are strongly encouraged to include an investigator from each institution, and principal investigators (PIs) must meet the requirements for PI status as specified by their home institution.

  *   Applicants must assemble project teams that include investigators from at least two colleges, and must include at least one trainee (i.e., graduate student, postdoc, resident) or junior faculty member for a mentored research experience. Single-investigator proposals are not eligible.

  *   Applicants can only submit one application for which they are the PI, but individuals can be listed as co-investigators on more than one proposal.

  *   Recipients of previous CTSI Pilot Awards are eligible to apply for awards to support fundamentally new research projects, as long as previous projects have been completed.

  *   Animal studies are not allowed.

Deadlines

Applications can be submitted in response to this RFA on any date between April 17, 2020 and May 15, 2020 (by 5 p.m.) to elizabetheddy at ufl.edu<mailto:elizabetheddy at ufl.edu> (UF) or terra.bradley at med.fsu.edu<mailto:terra.bradley at med.fsu.edu> (FSU). Successful applicants will have up to 12 months from date of NIH approval to complete their projects.
