Funding Details
Requirements: This program is primarily intended to support full-time faculty who are early-stage investigators (see NIH definition). Faculty with previous or active K-awards are eligible and are encouraged to apply. Past CPIC pilot applicants are also encouraged, but subsequent applications should be “new” submissions. Postdoctoral fellows are eligible if a faculty appointment will be made on or before September 1, 2024. If this is the case, the applicant must include a letter from their Department Chair confirming their status. Applications will also be accepted from established investigators with a previous history of funding with justification of eligibility. Established investigators are eligible if the proposed research represents a major shift from his/her scientific portfolio to date. By providing an Eligibility Statement within the Pre-Application, established PIs have the opportunity to comment on how the proposed aims represent a major shift in science.
