2019 Pilot and Feasibility Application Form

The application is an abbreviated version of the standard NIH application.  Please abide by the page limitations.  The application will be reviewed as a pilot proposal and need not be as detailed as a full R01 grant application.

The application must be a PDF file and formatted using either Helvetica or Arial fonts no smaller than 11 point and margins must be no smaller than 0.5 inches.  Applications that do not conform to these requirements will not be reviewed.

Please note:  DRC uses the “Just in Time" method for all approvals.  IRB and IACUC approvals are not required at the time of application submission.  Before any funding can be distributed, verification must be provided to the DRC as follows:

• If the proposed research involves human subjects, IRB approval memo is required before funds will be released.  Note: The DRC is NIH funded, award #2P30 DK017047.

• If the research involves vertebrate animals, please provide IACUC approval signature and protocol information on the application cover page.

The Department Chair or Division Head’s signature must be obtained before the application can be considered complete.  Electronic signatures are acceptable.

This is an internal application.  As such, DO NOT complete the eGC-1 process or send the application to the UW Office of Sponsored Programs.

You must submit a budget for up to two years, for a maximum of $50,000 annually.

The application deadline is February 20, 2019, with awards beginning July 1, 2019.  If you have any questions, please contact the DRC Program Operations Specialist (Celia Chor; 206-764-2695), DRC Manager (Corinne Lovato; 206-764-2692), Director of P&F Programs (Dr. Sakeneh Zraika; 206-768-5391) or Associate Director of P&F Programs (Dr. Mario Kratz; 206-667-7362).
