These awards provide a total of up to $30,000 to support new investigators with a multi-year, extramurally funded career development award. The request must demonstrate the necessity for supplemental funding and the investigator must align the request with and use any awarded funds within the career grant funding period.
Applicant Eligibility
- All investigators with an active career development award.
- An individual may receive only one career development supplemental award proposal as a PI.
- Applicants must have a primary faculty appointment with DOM.
- The DOM Research Council follows the NIH proposal model and allows investigators an initial application and one resubmission for funding consideration. Investigators may resubmit unfunded proposals found to have merit only once.
Proposal Requirements
Proposals should consist of the following and the applicant should compile them into a single PDF in this order for submission purposes:
- Cover letter that provides:
- Name of the project
- Funder
- Dates of funding
- Budget (use the linked template, download spreadsheet from Box)
- Budget justification
- Copy of the funded career development award
If applicable, applicants must also provide copies of review board approval letters along with corresponding approval dates. Approval letters are to be uploaded individually and separately from the proposal. If review board approvals are pending, applicants will need to provide submission dates and ARROW ID numbers. Alternatively, applicants are given the option to indicate the project has not been submitted for review yet or does not require it.
Review Criteria
Awards will be based on a general assessment of the overall impact of the research. The DOM Research Council will only consider funding proposals with a clear path to the stated deliverable. This consideration is particularly relevant for supporting applicants approaching the transition to an independent external grant proposal submission (e.g., R01).
