SRI Call for Applications
Application Process
There will be two types of applications depending on the initiative:
- Request for Proposals (RFPs) are similar to CBCRP’s core, investigator-initiated program applications, responding to the particular initiative topic;
- Request for Qualifications (RFQs) include specific research questions and plan, requesting the qualifications of applicants to conduct the study.
Most application instructions and materials will be available exclusively through the proposalCentral website, https://proposalcentral.altum.com (and filter for “California Breast Cancer Research Program”). Applications for those initiatives must be submitted through proposalCentral, and prospective PIs as well as institution officials (i.e., signing officials and fiscal contacts) must be registered in that system.
Selected grants will be available here, with the application instructions and materials posted online.
Current Research Opportunities
The following RFP is open for applications:
- Making Chemicals Testing Relevant to Breast Cancer
Funding is available for studies that would develop new tests and/or adapt existing ones to screen chemicals for activity in mechanisms that play a role in breast cancer and that would demonstrate the relevance of these tests for breast cancer using experimental cell based and animal models. This project aims to shape chemicals policy in California by supporting the development of updated, functionally relevant assays that take into account all of the known or suspected mechanisms by which chemicals can contribute to breast cancer. Individual proposals are capped at $900,000 in direct costs for up to three years duration; however, smaller projects are also encouraged. Up to $5,000,000 will be awarded.
Application Forms and Instructions
The Chemicals Testing RFP Instructions (pdf), general application requirements and application forms are available on proposalCentral.
Deadline: March 22, 2011 at 12noon PDT.
