CTSA - Research Resources CReFF Award Program Announcement

CReFF Award Program Applications due March 1, 2010

The Mayo Clinic Center for Translational Science Activities (CTSA) is accepting applications for the 2010 Clinical Research Feasibility Funds (CReFF) Award Program.

CReFF awards support investigator-initiated, patient-oriented pilot/feasibility studies that use CTSA Research Resources facilities and services such as the Clinical Research Unit (CRU) and Translational Technology Cores.

The awards are intended to assist junior faculty as they generate preliminary data to support studies with a high likelihood of gaining future extramural funding. Eligible applicants must have a confirmed faculty appointment as of Jan. 1, 2010 and may not have a Mayo core research budget or more than 20 percent Category I research time.

Applications must be submitted via the IRBe system by March 1, 2010. Awardees will be notified by May 28, 2010 and funding will commence July 1, 2010.

A full description of the CReFF award, eligibility guidelines and application instructions are available online. Direct questions to Bettie Lechtenberg at (77)5-7916.
