Opportunities for Drug Discovery Pilot Projects
Deadline: Open until 5 projects awarded
To improve the discovery and advancement of  innovative cancer therapeutics, the Case Comprehensive Cancer Center is providing seed funding for the development of drug screening assays within the
Small Molecule Drug Development Shared Resource
(SMDD). This RFA is open to all Case CCC Members and applications will be accepted immediately on a rolling basis until all pilot award slots (5) are filled.
Assay development within the SMDD will transpire in two distinct phases:
Phase I: Assay Development
-
Up to 5 projects will be selected for assay development within the SMDD in collaboration with Yuriy Federov, Managing Director of the Shared Resource.
-
Potential drug targets must be justified and functionally validated by the PI.
- Assay development can transpire over a period of one year.
- The award will cover up to $10,000 of SMDD facility services for each awardee. Funds will be distributed directly to SMDD.
Phase II: High-throughput Screening
-
Based on potential screening robustness, up to 2 projects (from the group of Phase I awardees) will be selected for high-throughput library screening within the SMDD.
-
Phase II funds (up to $50,000 per awardee) will be allocated for expenses occurred for high-throughput screening within SMDD, and for laboratory-based validation analyses.
Award Description
-
Up to 5 research projects will be funded for Phase I, with 2 research project moving forward for Phase II. Total funds committed to this RFA are $150,000.
-
Each Phase I research project can request services of up to $10,000 for one year, while selected Phase II research projects can request services of up to $50,000 for one year.
Funding Criteria
Opportunities for Pilot Projects from Cancer Innovation Award
Deadline: June 28, 2019
The Case Comprehensive Cancer Center is providing
seed funding for highly innovative and impactful proposals that will generate key data for larger, nationally competitive grants.
Projects must be transformative in nature and may focus on technology development, innovative biological or therapeutic questions, novel concepts in catchment-based research, or topics that have the potential to overturn dogma. Investigators should submit novel ideas that are high risk and exceptionally innovative.
This RFA is open to all Case CCC Members. Proposals cannot be concurrently funded by other sources or by the Cancer Center.
Award Description
-
Up to 4 research projects will be funded. Total funds committed to this RFA are $300,000.
-
Each research project can request a budget of up to $75,000 for one year.
-
Research projects should be completed within one year.
-
Funds must be expended within the 12 month funding period as cost extensions will not be granted.
Funding Criteria
-
Strong investigative teams of Case Comprehensive Cancer Center members.
-
Projects must be
highly innovative and potentially transformative
to be deemed responsive to this RFA.
-
All materials to complete the project (IRB, bio-samples, reagents, mice imaging data) should be in-hand or readily available. Collection of new patient cohorts as the primary focus of the work is not responsive to this RFA.
-
Projects must have a high likelihood of subsequent national-level funding.
-
While investigators can be collaborators on multiple applications, only one application will be accepted per lead PI. And PIs are allowed one award per year (i.e., no concurrent awards).
-
All funds for shared resources must involve Case CCC facilities unless the use of a shared resource(s) at another NCI-funded institution is sufficiently justified.
