 The Office of Research on Women's Health (ORWH) and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS), along with the other participating NIH Institutes, Centers, and Offices (ICOs) announce the availability of administrative supplements to IDeA awards to expand research and research capacity in the IDeA states to address important issues of women’s health across the lifespan. These administrative supplements aim to increase research specifically directed at women’s health and health disparities and to expand the capacity of IDeA states to conduct women’s health research. Applications due Oct 17.
One application from SC INBRE may be submitted. Any faculty at an SC INBRE institution (does not have to have been directly funded by SC INBRE) who is interested in applying, needs to email SC INBRE’s Program Director, Dr. Edie Goldsmith, no later than noon on Sept 5 to be considered for that slot.
 Discovery Pilot RFA DEADLINE EXTENDED. Due to the projected impacts of Hurricane Idalia, MUSC SCTR is extending the deadline for their Discovery Pilot opportunity to Sept 8, 5 pm. Discovery grants support translational science projects that involve basic research, clinical research and/or community/population health research approaches for the purposes of collecting critical preliminary data for submission of extramural grant applications and to publish, disseminate or implement research findings.
Special Mechanism: K-Awardee and Pre-Doctoral Trainee Collaborative Discovery Grant. This special mechanism for the SCTR Discovery Grant seeks to promote a team-based collaborative translational research project between a current or recently graduated K-awardee and a predoctoral trainee while enhancing team science and mentoring.
