FUNDING-Limited Submission – NIBIB – Supplements to NCATS CTSA Programs for Translational Research Teams of Quantitative Researchers and Clinician-Scientists (Admin Supp) – PA-18-426; January 23, 2018

 

Purpose: The purpose of this administrative supplement from the National Institute of Biomedical Imaging and Bioengineering (NIBIB) is to facilitate collaboration by supporting multidisciplinary research teams comprised of quantitative researchers and clinician-scientists from active CTSA institutions (PAR-15-304). This supplement will support translational team research projects by providing salary and research support to a quantitative researcher, contingent upon his/her collaborating with a clinician-scientist KL2 scholar. The collaborative KL2 clinician-scientist will be supported independently of this supplement through the parent KL2 award throughout the duration of the proposed supplement. Both team members will be selected by the KL2 PI. The KL2 PD/PI will assist the quantitative researcher and clinician-scientist in developing a translational research project aligned with NIBIB’s research mission under the guidance of their identified basic and clinical science mentors.  Based on this, the KL2 PI will submit a supplement request under this FOA.

 

Eligibility: The proposed candidate should have significant experience in the biomedical field and currently hold the position of tenure or research track assistant professor or similar level faculty position.

 

Note: The quantitative research is expected to devote 9 person-months (75% of full-time professional effort) to this project.

 

Funding Amount/ Project Period: No more than current parent award; up to $170,000 in direct costs for salary and expenses; project period within currently approved project period for existing parent award.
