Funding Opportunity Announcements

 

This list includes miscellaneous timely calls for submissions that the OSP receives from various foundations and organizations.

NOTE: many such announcements come to the OSP with quick-turn-around deadlines.

New announcements are posted at the top of this list as they are received by the Research Office - therefore, they are not organized by date of submission deadline.

For a comprehensive listing of research funding opportunities by focus area, see Funding Opportunities.
And OSU research faculty and support staff can subscribe to a listserve (funding-deadlines@lists.oregonstate.edu) for monthly announcements.

Orthopaedic Research Program

Department of Defense DOD) Peer Reviewed Orthopaedic Research Program (PRORP). This program will support innovative, high-impact, clinically relevant research to advance treatment and rapid rehabilitation from musculoskeletal injuries sustained during military combat or combat-related activities.

Clinical Consortium Award
Max. Direct Costs: $30M
Max. Period of Performance: 5 years
Pre-Application (Letter of Intent): December 23, 2009
Application: January 11, 2010
Funding Opportunity Number: W81XWH-09-PRORP-CCA

The intent of the award is to fund clinical studies focused on improving the outcomes of severe musculoskeletal injuries commonly associated with military combat. The main objective of this Consortium Award is to address questions that need to be answered through large multi-site clinical trials with appropriate statistical power. The award is designed to combine the population of military orthopaedic trauma patients and the combat-relevant expertise of PRORP-specified military treatment facilities with the patient populations and research expertise of highly qualified civilian orthopaedic trauma departments at outstanding institutions.
Pre-applications are REQUIRED for all PRORP award mechanisms.

Geologic Sequestration Training & Res

Grant applications from universities, colleges, and college-affiliated research institutions and Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Other Minority Institutions (HBCU/OMI) are sought to provide training opportunities for graduate and undergraduate students that will provide the human capital and skills required for implementing and deploying CCS technologies. Training can be accomplished through fundamental research in the CCS technology area. Fundamental research is needed to advance science in: simulation and risk assessment; monitoring, verification, and accounting; geological related analytical tools; methods to interpret geophysical models; well completion and integrity for long-term CO2 storage; and CO2 capture.

Lung Cancer Research Program

Fiscal Year 2009 (FY09) congressional appropriations have provided $20 million to the Department of Defense (DOD) Peer Reviewed Lung Cancer Research Program (LCRP).  The program will support innovative and competitive research focused on the development of integrated components to identify, treat, and manage early curable lung cancer, and the establishment of a tissue bank.

The LCRP is interested in research proposals that address the following Areas of Emphasis:
·     Identification or development of non-invasive or minimally invasive tools to improve the detection of the initial stages of lung cancer.
·     Identification and development of tools for screening or early detection of lung cancer. Screening may include, but is not limited to, computed          tomography scans, X-rays, other imaging, biomarkers, genetics/genomics/proteomics, and assessment of risk factors.
·     Understanding the molecular mechanisms that lead to clinically significant lung cancer.
·     Identification of the mechanisms that lead to the development of the various types of lung cancer.
·     Identification of innovative strategies for prevention and treatment of early lung cancer.
·     Understanding predictive and prognostic markers to identify responders and non-responders.
·     Understanding acquired resistance to treatment.

The FY09 LCRP is pleased to announce the release of the Concept Award. 

The Program Announcement/Funding Opportunity, including the intent of the award mechanism, eligibility, and submission deadlines and Application Instructions and General Information have been posted on the Grants.gov and CDMRP websites (<http://grants.gov> and <http://cdmrp.army.mil>, respectively).


The FY09 LCRP will also offer 4 additional award mechanisms listed in the table below. 

Mechanism-specific Program Announcements/Funding Opportunities and Application Instructions and General Information are anticipated to be posted on the Grants.gov and CDMRP websites in late July or early August 2009.  Pre-applications submitted though CDMRP eReceipt System (<http://cdmrp.org>) are REQUIRED for all LCRP award mechanisms.  Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov (<http://grants.gov>).
