Limited Submission Opportunities

Limited Submission Opportunities Programs are grants, awards and fellowships that limit the number of applications that can come from one institution. The following listings include details about such programs available to faculty at the University of Washington and are posted below as as they are identified. Contact Peggy Fanning if you have questions regarding limited submission opportunities.

Some schools colleges require that materials are routed through their office in advance of the UW deadline. Please check with your school or college administration to confirm.

Damon Runyon Fnd.		Clinical Investigator Award	The Damon Runyon Clinical Investigator Award supports young physician-scientists conducting patient-oriented cancer research. The goal is to increase the number of physicians capable of moving seamlessly between the laboratory and the patient’s bedside in search of breakthrough treatments. The Clinical Investigator Award responds to three recognized realities: (1) Though there has never been a more pressing need or more promising time for clinical cancer research, fewer young physicians enter this area of investigation every year; (2) The number of institutions committed to training young physicians in the scientific discipline and methodologies of clinical investigation is critically low; (3) The burden of medical school debt (averaging over $100,000) discourages many physicians from pursuing clinical investigation.

NIH		RFA-ES-09-008 Limited Competition: Continuation of Studies on Early Environmental Exposures and Human Puberty (U01)	This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA), issued by the National Institute of Environmental Health Sciences (NIEHS) and the National Cancer Institute (NCI), is a limited competition soliciting cooperative agreement (U01) applications from investigators supported under Project 2 (“epidemiology project”) of an existing Breast Cancer and the Environment Research Center (BCERC) Grant (RFA-ES-03-001). The purpose of this FOA is to continue support of the Centers’ ongoing longitudinal studies examining how environmental, genetic, biologic, lifestyle, and socioeconomic factors influence female pubertal development and subsequent breast cancer risk, with a continued emphasis on the essential role of collaboration between researchers and breast cancer advocates in attaining research goals. Continued follow-up of girls enrolled in the BCERC epidemiological studies will maximize the investment made in establishing these unique cohorts and increase power to draw significant conclusions regarding the impact of early environmental determinants on puberty. Studies will continue to use similar methods to collect data on pubertal endpoints, genetic variation, and environmental stressors of importance to future breast cancer risk and participate in pooled analyses across all three study sites. Researchers will collaborate with a local Community Outreach and Translation Core (COTC) that will assist with participant retention, build and promote partnerships among researchers, community members, and other stakeholders, ensure representation of the concerns of breast cancer advocates in formulating research questions, and develop and implement tools and materials to communicate study findings to the public and policy makers.
