Date Posted: May 7, 2008
Deadline for internal competition: May 27, 2008
Agency deadline for LOI (NOT required): June 30, 2008
Agency deadline for Full Proposal: July 30, 2008
Sponsor: National Institutes of Health
Limit on number of proposals: Only one application may be submitted per institution. Because both basic and clinical research components are required, it is strongly encouraged that the KU-Lawrence and KUMC campuses should collaborate as one institution for this initiative.
The Core Centers for Musculoskeletal Biology and Medicine will provide shared facilities and services to groups of established, currently funded investigators addressing scientific problems in musculoskeletal biology and medicine, in order to improve efficiency, accelerate the pace of research, and ensure greater productivity. Core Centers also support pilot and feasibility studies and program enrichment activities. Direct costs of up to $400K per year may be requested for five years.

If you plan to submit a pre-proposal, please alert Barbara Earl (864-7781, bearl@ku.edu) one week prior to the internal deadline. This information will assist RGS in organizing the review committee.
The pre-proposal should include (1) a three-page narrative (describing the proposed research, including key personnel and partnerships, addressing any special components requested in the agency's solicitation [p.3-Research Objectives; p.9-Review and Selection Process], and a generalized yearly budget) and (2) a short vita for the PI and all co-investigators, including funding history and current and pending support. Investigators may include suggestions of faculty members whom they believe are especially well qualified to evaluate pre-proposals for this initiative. Please submit this material electronically to Barbara Earl, manager of Proposal Services, by 5 p.m. on May 27, 2008 (bearl@ku.edu, 864-7781).
If the number of pre-proposals exceeds the mandated limit, an internal review committee will be formed to review all pre-proposals (comprised of research administrators from KU-Lawrence and KUMC). The committee's intent is to select a proposer by June 3, 2008, thereby giving the proposer four weeks to prepare for the optional LOI submission, and an additional month for the proposal submission.
If you have any questions about the solicitation or the process described above, please contact Barbara Earl.
