This retention-focused, institutionally-supported program will support under-represented minority faculty members in submitting successful resubmissions of NIH K or R (or equivalent) grant applications. The goal of the SUSTAIN program is to increase the likelihood of successful proposal resubmission by providing protected time, grant writing training, and linkage to didactic, mentorship, and other resources, which are customized to the applicant. The SUSTAIN program provides 1–2 years of support at 50% of full-time salary (up to $60,000), which must be matched by the department and confirmed in a letter from the candidate’s Department Chair. The combined effort must enable a total of at least 75% research effort.
Deadline: Friday, September 1, 2023

The BCRP Clinical Research Extension Award aims to (1) extend or expand the data collection, follow-up, and analysis of breast cancer clinical studies and (2) increase the clinically relevant impact of breast cancer patient participation in clinical research by addressing the knowledge lost due to early trial termination, limited patient follow-up, or suboptimal sample and/or data collection and analysis. Patient contributions of tissue, serum, and other biologic specimens and their data are invaluable to saving lives. This BCRP mechanism helps to ensure that science values those contributions with research that maximizes their impact.
Deadline: Tuesday, September 12, 2023
