Dear Members of the Notre Dame and the Indiana University School of Medicine-South Bend research communities:
| |
Structural and Social Determinants of Health Project Development Team (PDT)
The structural and social determinants of health PDT is one of eight available through the Indiana CTSI. The PDT committee is chaired by Notre Dame’s Nitesh Chawla, the Frank M. Freimann Professor of Computer Science and Engineering and the founding director of the Lucy Family Institute for Data and Society.
The overall goal of the PDT program is to increase the translation of health sciences research and health care delivery to the people of Indiana and beyond by facilitating an environment that enables the conduct of clinical and translational research. Through the program, eligible researchers request expert advice to develop their ideas and hypotheses into strong research projects and/or apply for a pilot award of up to $15,000.

Indiana CTSI Postdoc Challenge Grant Funding to Use CTSI Designated Core Facilities
Submission Deadline: February 10, 2022
The Postdoc Challenge offers postdoctoral researchers at Indiana University, Indiana University School of Medicine, IUPUI, Purdue University, the University of Notre Dame, and IBRI valuable proposal writing and reviewing experience in areas related to translational research through the use of one or more of the CTSI-designated core facilities at any of the partner universities. This is a competitive opportunity for a $5,000 award in the form of an expense account for use of core facility services. Funding is to be used only for services provided by the core facilities. Indiana CTSI-designated core facilities are listed on the CTSI website.
Applications to this program are limited to $5,000 and one year. Applicants are strongly encouraged to attend the informational workshops listed in the RFA (see also link to workshops information below).

Stark Neurosciences Pre-Clinical Neuroimaging Pilot Grant
Submission Deadline: March 1, 2022
The goal of the Pre-Clinical Neuroimaging Research Pilot Study program is to facilitate the generation of new knowledge in neurosciences through the development of funded research programs. This mechanism will provide seed support up to $10,000 for innovative, high-risk animal imaging projects using the Bruker BioSpec 9.4T PET-MRI scanner using the IIBIS In-Vivo Imaging Core.
Applicants (the contact PI) from one of the following three categories are eligible to apply:
- Category 1: New investigators without current or past NIH research support as PD/PI.
- Category 2: Established investigators who do not belong to Category 1 and do not have neuroimaging experience but wish to apply neuroimaging to enhance their current research.
- Category 3: Established neuroimaging investigators who do not belong to Category 1 & 2 and propose testing innovative ideas that represent a clear departure from ongoing research interests.
The award amount is up to $10,000 for one year.

About the Indiana Clinical and Translational Sciences Institute
The Indiana CTSI includes Indiana University, Purdue University, and the University of Notre Dame as the major academic partners along with a number of other institutions and entities in the state.
It is funded by a Clinical and Translational Sciences Award from the National Institutes of Health amounting to some $33 million for the current five-year funding period of 2018-2023. This funding is supplemented by additional support from many other institutional and corporate partners.
Funding is provided to researchers by many mechanisms to promote translational and collaborative research among the partner institutions.
