ALR Pilot Grant
Application Deadline: October 2, 2006
ALR Will Focus Support Upon:
- Research that reflects innovative approaches and techniques.
-
Research that will develop necessary pilot data for submission of larger awards to NIH, ALR or other funding agencies.
-
New investigators who demonstrate promise and productivity and are working in an environment supportive of their research efforts.
-
Research undertaken by scientists who are experts in areas other than lupus but whose expertise is relevant to the advancement of lupus research.
-
Established lupus investigators embarking upon clearly discernible new directions in their work.
-
Applications in the following areas are particularly encouraged:
-
Grants that seek to identify or characterize putative biomarkers. A biomarker is an indicator of a disease process and could replace hard clinical endpoints as a measure of the effectiveness of new therapeutic interventions. Examples of responsive studies might include, but are not limited to: attempts to validate candidate biomarkers in well-defined populations, provide new technologies to measure biomarkers, or establish reliable assays for suspected markers.
Amounts
This grant mechanism provides up to $75 thousand for one year of support and is not renewable. Proposals for less than the maximum amount are encouraged. Please note that Principal Investigator salaries are not supported. Salary requests may be made for technical assistance, graduate students and postdoctoral fellows. ALR limits indirect costs to 8 percent of direct costs excluding equipment.
Application Requirements
Applications are open to investigators working at established research institutions (both for profit and not-for profit) as well as investigators at state health agencies, the FDA, VA and at intramural divisions of NIH. Applications may be submitted by investigators working anywhere in the world. Non-U.S. applicants whose projects involve human subjects must work at institutions that have human subjects committees that operate in a substantially similar manner to a U.S. Institutional Review Board.
Application Material
Each application should contain the following information:
-
A short descriptive title for the project.
-
The name, address, phone number and e-mail address of the Principal Investigator.
-
A scientific abstract of the research plan that includes the application's long term objectives and specific aims. Investigators should highlight the relevance of the work to lupus. The abstract should not exceed 300 words.

A copy of all materials used to obtain the informed consent of project participants and appropriate institutional assurances regarding human subjects and
animals.
For those successful applicants, as notified by the ALR in December, the following must be submitted prior to final approval for funding:
-
A lay information statement of no more than 300 words explaining the subject of the research and its relationship to lupus. This statement should be understandable by an informed lay readership making reference to a standard medical dictionary.
-
A detailed budget for the project prepared in U.S. dollars. The budget should be itemized in the following categories: personnel (include percentage effort on the project); consultant costs (include biographical information on consultants), equipment, supplies, travel (maximum $1,000), other costs (includes patient care costs) and indirect expenses (maximum of 8 percent of direct costs excluding equipment).
-
A detailed justification for the budgetary requests.
-
A biographical sketch or curriculum vitae for all key personnel working on the project. This should include a description of other financial support available to the applicant for his/her research endeavors. This should also include a description of currently active support and all projects and proposals pending review and/or award whether related to this application or not. A standard 4-page NIH Biosketch may be substituted, although the latter must include pending support.
-
A short description of the facilities and equipment available to support the project.
-
At the conclusion of the application a signed and dated statement from the investigator and the appropriate institutional official should be included stating the following: "The undersigned agree to accept responsibility for the scientific and technical conduct of the research project and for the provision of required progress reports if a grant is awarded as a result of this application."
Relevant Dates
Applications are due no later than October 2, 2006. Proposals will be reviewed during the autumn of 2006 and applicants will be notified of the status of their proposals during December, 2006. Funding will commence on or about January 15, 2007. Please note that reviewer's comments will not be provided. By applying, you are acknowledging your understanding that critiques will not be available. All applications are subject to peer review. ALR will utilize an aggressive triage process to limit the number of proposals that will receive a detailed examination by the full review committee. Factors utilized during this triage process include the reviewers' initial assessment of the quality of the research plan, the relevance of the project to the goals of ALR and whether the experience of the applicant provides a good chance of success for the project. Applicants who are not comfortable with this prescreening procedure should not apply.
Electronic submission is mandatory through the ProposalCentral website.

Description
The purpose of the programs is to reduce CVD mortality and morbidity among high-risk women in the United States through medical screening and risk behavior modification. The CVD prevention programs will be targeted towards high-risk racial and ethnic minority women, aged 40 years and older; however, all high-risk women shall be eligible to participate in the programs regardless of race, religion, or age. Each grantee shall implement one program in 10 faith-based or community-based sites across the United States, including urban and rural areas. The main goal will be for program participants to increase their level of physical activity and establish or maintain a healthy weight over the course of the program. The educational phase of the program shall consist of eight bi-weekly sessions that shall counsel women on all of the major risk factors for CVD--smoking, Type 2 [[Page 32539]] diabetes, hypertension, cholesterol, obesity, and physical inactivity-- while primarily focusing on controlling weight and increasing physical activity. The maintenance phase of the project shall consist of regularly scheduled, interactive maintenance sessions that shall be designed by program participants. During both phases, participants will be screened for all six major CVD risk factors. All counseling and maintenance sessions shall include small group discussions and a physical activity component focused on reducing risk.
Information on Eligibility: These awards focus on President Bush's agenda to broaden Federal efforts to work with faith-based and community organizations. As such, each applicant must either: (1) Be a national faith-based or national community organization that has a network of at least 10 sites across the Continental United States and its territories with large populations of high-risk racial and ethnic minority women, aged 40 years and older, or (2) partner with a national faith-based or national community organization that has a network of at least 10 sites across the United States with large populations of high-risk racial and ethnic minority women, aged 40 years and older. If a partnership is established, the applicant and the national faith-based or national community organization must sign a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that describes the partnership, including [[Page 32544]] the expectations and duties of each partner. This MOU must be included in the application. If the document is not provided, the application may not be considered. Please see section VIII.2 for a definition of partnership, national faith-based organization, and national community organization.
Closing Date for Applications: Jul 06, 2006 To receive consideration, applications must be received by the Office of Public Health and Science (OPHS) Office of Grants Management no later than July 6, 2006. Applications will be considered as meeting the deadline if they are received by the OPHS Office of Grants Management no later than 5 p.m. Eastern time on the application due date.
