CCTSI Programs Requests for Applications
The CCTSI K to R (KTR) Transition program and Pre-K program are now accepting applications for review.
Both programs offer a unique opportunity for internal mock grant review for those submitting NIH grant applications. Participants will receive specific written and verbal critiques of their proposals prior to submission to the funding agency.
2022 Steven Fadul Award
The Steven Fadul Award is an annual prize of $1,500, awarded to an outstanding PRA or other member of the School's technical research staff.
Nominations for the 2022 Steven Fadul Award are being accepted now through November 16, 2022.
Biomedical research increasingly relies on teamwork among students, postdocs, faculty, and PRAs and other members of our technical staff. Of these, it is the technical staff who, over a period of years, log the most time in the lab and acquire
unique knowledge, insight, and wisdom. They become the foundation for an efficient, productive, and collegial research atmosphere. Their contributions, however, are not recognized to the extent that they deserve. We seek to reward them, and in doing
so to honor Steve Fadul's memory and strengthen the research enterprise at the School of Medicine.
Questions regarding this award and the process can be emailed to the Department of Physiology and Biophysics or
call (303) 724-4500.
Doris Duke Call for Applications
We are now recruiting Scholars for the University of Colorado School of Medicine Fund to Retain Clinical Scientists (CU-FRCS).
GRANT DESCRIPTION:
- A grant and mentoring program for MD or DO’s of all genders who are funded junior faculty facing hardship resulting from caregiving needs.
- Annual 1-year award of $40,000.
- One year of funding is guaranteed, a 2nd can be requested, subject to committee review.
- Money can be used to pay for research costs including PRA salary (not PI salary) or other research and training costs.
- CU-FRCS Scholars must have a MD or DO degree and active medical license.
- Must have full-time CU-SOM faculty appointment (Instructor, Assistant Professor or Associate Professor no more than one year in rank).

Proposals are now being accepted for the National COVID Cohort Collaborative (N3C) PHASTR - N3C Public Health Answers to Speed Tractable Results
The N3C PHASTR initiative is a new opportunity to use N3C data to provide fast actionable analyses on high-impact COVID-19 public health questions. It’s also an opportunity to increase community engagement on using big data for research and machine learning best practices.
See the N3C website for submission details and timelines: N3C PHASTR | N3C (cd2h.org). Email Anh Nguyen for additional information or questions.
ACS-IRG Seed Grant Funding – 2023
Each award is for 1 year in the amount of $70,000. Application Due Date: Friday, December 2nd, 2022.
The purpose of this grant program is to support the development of exceptional research projects that will help lead to the conquest
of cancer and will further the objectives of the CU Cancer Center. Studies in all areas of cancer research - laboratory, clinical, prevention and control, and psychosocial cancer research - will be considered for funding.
ACS IRG Grants
aim to entice young faculty to pursue cancer-related research problems and are reserved for applicants who are in their first few years as junior faculty members (instructors and assistant professors) and who are in the process of establishing independent
cancer research programs.
Questions regarding the ACS-IRG seed grants and application should be directed to Paige Diller. All applications should be submitted online. Please note, paper applications will not be accepted or reviewed.
High Resolution peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HR-pQCT) 2023 Seed Grant Call for Applications
High-Resolution peripheral Quantitative Computed Tomography (HR-pQCT) is now available in the outpatient Adult CTRC to obtain non-invasive 3D images at the distal tibia and distal radius of humans for clinical in vivo assessments of volumetric bone mineral density and parameters of bone quality (e.g., microarchitecture, geometry, porosity, and biomechanics). XtremeCT II HR-pQCT scanner images have a very small isotropic voxel size (60.7 μm) and very low radiation dose (≤5 μSv per scan/anatomical site) so the device can be used for studies performed in adult, adolescent, and pediatric populations.
These seed grants are intended to increase utilization of this new instrument and can only be used for HR-pQCT scanning/analysis. They are supported by the CCTSI, the Vice Chancellor of Research, and Pediatric Endocrinology at Children’s Hospital Colorado.
For additional information please visit the the CCTSI website or email Julio Carballido-Gamio, PhD, with questions.
Applications are due February 15, 2023.
