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.

Fundamentals of Statistical Literacy I Course Offering  

This course gives an introduction to statistical thinking and communication involving basic statistical models and tests and is appropriate for those familiar with biomedical research but little or no statistical expertise. Fall 2022, the course is offered November thru December from 6-8pm. 

For questions email Luan Nguyen at the Center for Innovative Design and Analysis.

2023 Boettcher Foundation Webb-Waring Biomedical Research Grants 

Applications are being accepted for the 2022 Boettcher Webb-Waring Biomedical Research Awards program to support research that has a direct impact on human health.

• Up to 5 grants of $235,000 (covering up to three years of research activity) will be awarded to promising and talented early-career investigators at the University of Colorado. 
• Awardees will carry the prestigious title of “Boettcher Investigator”.
• Eligible faculty researchers from all four CU campuses are encouraged to apply.

Visit the website for information on how to apply. 

Potential applicants can get more information about the award program, the application and selection process, and participate in a Q&A with the chair and vice chair of the 2023 selection panel by participating in an informational webinar on Friday, December 9, 2022, 3:30 p.m.

New NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy  

• The policy applies to all research, funded in whole or in part by NIH, that results in the generation of scientific data including grants, contracts, and other transactions; it does not apply to research and other activities that do not generate scientific data, including training, infrastructure development, and non-research activities. 
• The DMSP is two pages and is not a scored component of proposals.
• Annual Notice of Award is dependent on RPPR reporting and grant budgets may include costs for preserving and sharing data, including personnel and storage costs. These funds must be spent during the funding period.
• Scientific data should be made accessible as soon as possible, and no later than the time of an associated publication, or the end of performance period, whichever comes first.
• NIH will provide a template later this fall. A draft DMS Blank Format Page includes the following categories for inclusion:
  • Element 1: Data type (type, amount, which data will be preserved/shared, metadata and documentation)
  • Element 2: Tools, software, and code
  • Element 3: Data standards
  • Element 4: Data Preservation, access, timelines for sharing and preservation, and repository selection
  • Element 5: Factors affecting access, distribution, or reuse of scientific data, controlled access and privacy considerations
  • Element 6: Institutional compliance, monitoring, and roles

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.
