AMSSM Collaborative Research Network Announces $150K RFP for Bridge Funding for Future Clinical Trial Grant
The AMSSM Collaborative Research Network (CRN) has announced $150,000 in funding to help AMSSM investigators bridge significant gaps that exist between smaller research studies and large-scale funding opportunities for clinical trials relevant to the practice of sports medicine.
The goal of this RFP is to provide financial support to investigators to conduct a rigorous study that would provide the necessary data to prepare a research team for future funding to either (1) plan for a clinical trial (e.g., NIH R34) or (2) conduct a clinical trial (numerous potential funding mechanisms). Matching institutional funds are welcomed as additional support to these investigations.
If awarded this grant, the CRN and investigative team will commit to working together to develop a strong proposal to an extramural funding source that is most applicable to the proposed research question. Grant awardees will benefit from the varied expertise and experiences of the CRN Leadership Committee in developing such an application. Moreover, if the targeted extramural funding is awarded, the CRN will work collaboratively with the investigative team to successfully plan for and/or implement the clinical trial.
Letters of intent for this RFP are due by June 16, 2023. For more information about this funding opportunity and to apply, please visit amssm.org/Research.php.
