Innovation in Cancer Informatics – Fall Round 2018

Limited Submissions

The Fund for Innovation in Cancer Informatics (ICI) provides grants to support and test novel bioinformatics applications in cancer. The Fund enables cancer researchers to develop data on the efficacy of their approach that may in turn enable them to obtain additional funding from the National Cancer Institute (NCI), National Science Foundation (NSF), or other research foundations supporting cancer research. The overall goal of the Fund is to lower barriers to innovation. ICI employs a concise proposal process and works to make approved grants available 4-6 weeks from the deadline for application to help move innovative work forward.

 

ICI grants are restricted gifts that support investigator-initiated projects for up to 2 years. Awards may be up to $100,000 per year (direct costs), plus 12% allowable indirect costs. Two-year grant submissions should include mid-grant milestones (at approximately 12-months) for the purpose of evaluating progress toward overall project goals. These milestones must be achieved in order to qualify for the second year of funding.

Application Instructions

Please submit:

  1. a one-page letter of intent with a description of proposed aims and approach
  2. Biosketch or CV of the PI
  3. A letter of support from the Dean or Chair. This letter of support signifies that the Dean or Chair have ensured that the nominee and application are likely to be of sufficient quality to be competitive nationally

 

to research@uw.edu by 5:00 PM Thursday August 9, 2018. A letter of intent is due to the sponsor 9/14/18, so you will need to have your materials in to the Office of Sponsored Programs by 9/6/18 for processing, if given the go ahead by the Proposal Review Committee.

Inquiries and Contact Information

Investigators who identify a grant, award or fellowship program that restricts the number of applications that can be submitted from an Institution should immediately contact their Chairperson, Associate Dean for Research (or Dean, if no ADR) and the Office of Research (see below) if they intend to prepare a response. Failure to do so, or to meet the deadlines for submission of pre-proposal, will preclude submission of the application through the Office of Sponsored Programs.
