NIAID/NIH Centers for Medical Counter Measures Against Radiation Consortium (CMCRC) Program Call for Pilot Project Applications
NIAID/NIH Centers for Medical Counter Measures Against Radiation Consortium (CMCRC) Program Call for Pilot Project Applications
The Centers for Medical Countermeasures against Radiation Consortium (CMCRC) is now accepting applications for pilot projects. Application forms and descriptions of the current CMCRs can be found at: https://cmcrcniaid.org/content/instructions
Applications are due December 31, 2020
Anticipated project start date: May 1, 2021
Pilot project funding is intended to:
· Foster novel/early ideas within and outside awarded CMCRs
· Develop or incorporate new technologies as they become available
· Encourage collaborations among members of different centers and between the CMCRC and outside investigators (although research collaborations with existing centers are not required)
· Allow maximum flexibility for the advancement of exciting high-risk high-reward projects
PIs of pilot projects previously funded through the CMCRC program are now eligible to apply with new projects (not for continuation of prior funding). Junior investigators are especially encouraged to apply.
Pilot projects must be within the scope of the original CMCRC RFA. For more information about the research areas of interest of the CMCRC program please visit: (https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/rfa-ai-19-012.html)
