2 APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS Solid Tumor Translational Research (STTR) Programmatic Investment Grants Opportunity: Three $333,333 grants across 3 years are available to STTR faculty and their collaborators. Requirements: Proposals must be innovative and collaborative translational research projects with clear hypotheses, aims and outcomes to propel the field. Projects must be outside the scope of our current portfolios for NIH Program Projects, SPOREs, etc. Consideration given to faculty with different R01s (or similar granting types) who come together to create a programmatic focus. Favorable scoring will be given to projects that articulate a clear plan to move to a clinical trial, new screenings or guidelines within the next five (5) years. STTR will release $333,333 direct cost awards, with no additional F&A (at UW/UWMedicine, it is up to you to consult the sign-off process for awards received without F&A as per your departmental guidelines. At Fred Hutch, awardees are approved to use the funds for direct cost, salary and fringe). At least 50% of the award must be used at Fred Hutch. Dollars are unrestricted and/or can be used to hire full-time positions utilized between the team (i.e. tech, post doc, etc.). Year 2 funding is contingent upon submitting a progress report. Year 3 funding is contingent upon the team s submission to a large granting mechanism (i.e. NIH, DOD, etc.). NOTE: STTR staff can offer support for grant submission. Staffing: Teams must be translational and multi-disciplinary. Each team must include one PI who is a STTR member with a primary Fred Hutch appointment and at least two other STTR faculty from other disciplines and/or institutional appointment. Possible collaborations might include research scientists and clinicians.
