Presbyterian Health Foundation (PHF) Clinical Translational Grant Award (CTGA) Program – Request For Applications
The CTGA program replaces the Team Science program. The primary objective of this PHF CTGA mechanism is to grow collaborations and expand innovative healthcare research activities and promote collaboration among faculty to help OUHSC achieve the goals outlined in Pillar 1 of the Strategic Plan. The investigators must consist of one basic science researcher and one clinician researcher who can develop a broadly based, multidisciplinary research program focused on a specific disease entity, biomedical problem area, or clinically relevant problem. The proposal must focus on the collaborative relationship, such that the scientific objectives could not be achieved without the efforts of a basic science researcher, a clinician researcher, and their respective expertise and/or disciplines. It is expected that both members of the investigator team will devote an equivalent amount of effort to the project (60/40 or 50/50 distribution of effort).
The funding for this program can be for up to two years. The second year of funding, if funds are available, will be based on successful achievement of identified milestones as noted by the researchers in the Year 1 application and quality of specified milestones to be met during the next year of funding, as documented in the completed Year Two application form.
This funding opportunity is intended to:
-
Promote collaborative scientific interactions among investigators
-
Support translation of novel basic/pre-clinical observations or the translation, dissemination, and implementation of clinical observations to community settings
-
Foster engagement of interdisciplinary teams
-
Support collaborative interactions among clinical and fundamental research investigators leading to co-authored papers and grant applications.
PHF CTGA awardees may hold PHF Symposium grants, Technology Advancement Grants (TAG), or Bridge grants throughout the duration of this award, but may not serve as the Contact PI/Team Leader on more than one PHF Clinical Translational Grant. A single investigator may only be awarded one CTGA award at a time, whether as contact PI or collaborating PI.
Presbyterian Health Foundation (PHF) Technology Advancement Grant (TAG) Program – Request For Applications
Cycles I-III PHF TAG Grant Program Deadline: ROLLING APPLICATIONS
The TAG program replaces the Equipment grant program. The primary objective of the PHF TAG program is to provide partial funding for critically needed research equipment that could be transformative for the research mission at OUHSC. This program is fully aligned with Pillar 1 of the Strategic Plan. The TAG program will proactively and with the help of a committee address campus-wide needs and fill critical gaps, with the goals to grow the research enterprise, expand innovative technology and research infrastructure, and promote addition of new cutting-edge technology on campus. Funding priority will be given to research equipment that will permit OUHSC investigators to be more competitive for external funding and provides support to multiple users. Funds may be used for equipment to be purchased as part of a recruitment package for new faculty or for equipment to support the research of current faculty. If the funds will be used for a new recruit, the recruit must have signed the offer letter with a specific start date or specific start date time frame. Equipment and/or technology funded by PHF is expected to be made available to all researchers at OUHSC, whenever possible. All OUHSC Assistant, Associate, or Full Professors are eligible to apply. Applicants are required to match requested funds. The maximum allowable budget for this program is $500,000 (PHF funding: $250,000; Applicant funding: $250,000). The minimum allowable budget for this program is $60,000 (PHF funding: $30,000; Applicant funding: $30,000). Only one application will be accepted per investigator per year.
