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 RFQ is open for applications:
- Partnership to Advance Breast Cancer Research
A single PI and team will be selected for a cooperative agreement to develop and implement a planning process for the second phase of the Special Research Initiatives. Estimated $1,000,000
Application Forms and Instructions
The CBCRP has general application requirements and conditions, which apply to all award types.
The Partnership RFQ Instructions and forms (both Application packet and Budget form) are now available.
Deadline: July 22, 2010 at 5:00pm PDT. Applications must be submitted as a single PDF document.
Future Research Opportunities
The following research opportunities will be available through open application in 2010:
- An Integrated Approach to Understanding Behavioral, Social, and Physical Environment Factors and Breast Cancer among Immigrants
Approximately three transdisciplinary pilot studies will be funded to analyze multi-level data to describe the changes in behavior, social and physical environment associated with a California immigrant population that may influence breast cancer risk. Estimated $1,200,000 - Make Chemicals Testing Relevant to Breast Cancer
Up to nine awards to either (a) identify and evaluate a comprehensive, cost-effective battery of tests for screening chemicals that the spectrum of mechanisms by which chemicals are known or suspected to contribute to breast cancer; or (b) develop new methods and model systems for testing chemicals for their potential to contribute to breast cancer. Estimated $3,600,000
