Proposal Submission Timeline Calculating Tool

The Office of Research Administration (ORA) is pleased to announce the addition of a new proposal submission timeline calculating tool to the Research Administration website, which principal investigators and grant administrators can use to ensure they are meeting required internal review deadlines for submitting proposals to our office.

To use this calculator, please select your proposal type (Single Project Proposal vs. Multi-Project Proposal) and enter the sponsor's submission deadline in the box to calculate the date your proposal will be due to ORA (finalized proposal documents including all required signatures). The tool also calculates the due date to ORA for an optional proposal budget review.

Please follow the link below to access the calculating tool.

OUHSC Funding Opportunities

The Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) Pilot Project RFA

Description: The NIH/NIGMS-funded Oklahoma Center of Biomedical Research Excellence (COBRE) in Microbial Pathogenesis and Immunity invites proposals for pilot project awards. Pilot projects will enable investigators to generate data to support new lines of investigation funded by national level awards. The pilot project may constitute the entire basis for a new national level (NIH or NSF) funding proposal, or may extend the scope or strengthen a planned application. Pilot projects must be of high significance and enhance or generate funding proposals that will exert a high impact on the applicant’s field of research.

Eligibility Requirements: The project Principal Investigator (PI) must be a consecutive term, tenure-track, or tenured faculty member at an Institution in the State of Oklahoma. First preference will be given to junior investigators within 5 years of their initial appointment and who currently hold NIH New Investigator status. Established investigators (NIH Established Investigator, Associate Professor, and Professor) and those beyond the initial 5 year period are eligible, but the applicant must clearly demonstrate how the pilot project will add a new element or direction to the PI’s research program. The PI may not concurrently hold other COBRE or INBRE support as a full project or pilot project PI. This includes other COBRE programs in Oklahoma. Past recipients of pilot project awards will be considered for a second award contingent on priority and having fulfilled all requirements of the previous award.

Awards: The award will be $50,000 per annum in direct costs. Institutional F&A costs will also be provided for applicants at institutions outside of OUHSC. Projects may be funded for up to 2 years contingent upon fulfilling award requirements and satisfactory progress. Sub-contracts are not allowable.

Application Deadline: 5pm, March 31, 2023

Application format and additional information: Please see the attached flyer.

The primary objective of the PHF New Investigator Seed Grant Program is to provide a two-year grant for OUHSC New Investigators to initiate research programs and obtain extramural funding. A secondary objective is to fund highly promising New Investigators from each of the six OUHSC professional colleges. Applicants must fit the following definition of a New Investigator: An investigator who has not previously received substantial, independent funding from NIH (e.g. R01-type funding) or a comparable funding agency.  Multi-PI applications are not allowed. Each of the six OUHSC professional colleges (Allied Health, Dentistry, Medicine, Nursing, Pharmacy, and Public Health) may nominate one faculty member for this award. Applicants must be nominated by their professional college in order to apply for this award. The professional college nominating the faculty member must agree to assign a mentor for this project and must commit to providing the mentor with $2,500/year for mentoring activities; the mentor does not need to be an OUHSC faculty member. Each college may set up their own nomination process for this award.

The Principal Investigator must be an OUHSC primary faculty member. Principal Investigators with Temporary Faculty appointments (faculty with academic titles such as instructor, lecturer, or titles modified by prefixes such as visiting, adjunct, clinical, or temporary research appointments with suffix “of Research”) must obtain approval from the Vice President for Research before submitting an application for this program. Approval will require a letter from their Department Chairperson indicating a departmental commitment of salary, research space, and time for development of an independent career at OUHSC. Requests should be sent to ORA4PHF@ouhsc.edu

PHF New Investigator Seed Grant recipients may not hold a PHF Bridge Grant, a PHF Clinician Scientist Development Grant, a PHF Team Science Grant, a Research Support Grant, or a PHF Seed Grant for the duration of this award.

Presbyterian Health Foundation (PHF) Team Science Grant Program – Request For Applications

  • Cycle I PHF Team Science Grant Program Deadline: March 24, 2023

The primary objective of this PHF Team Science Grant is to foster innovative, collaborative approaches to research projects involving multiple investigators. The proposal must focus on the collaborative relationship, such that the scientific objectives could not be achieved without the efforts of at least two investigators and their respective expertise and/or disciplines. The proposal must consist of two or more investigators, with the majority at OUHSC, who can develop a broadly based, multidisciplinary research program focused on a specific disease entity, biomedical problem area, or clinically relevant problem. The combination and integration of studies may include basic, clinical, community-based and/or translational research endeavors. The proposal should focus on developing collaborative relationships and co-authored papers required for submission of multi-PI grants, program project grants, center grants, or other large collaborative-type grants (PCORI or AHRQ). The funding for this program can be for up to three years with the 2nd and 3rd year of funding, if funds are available, based on successful achievement of identified milestones, quality of specified milestones to be met during the next year of funding, and submission of a team-type grant application by the end of the 2nd year.

Each proposal submitted must consist of two or more investigators with a single investigator identified as the Contact PI/Team Leader.  The Contact PI/Team Leader must be an OUHSC primary faculty member; adjunct faculty members are not eligible.
