Request for Proposals: 2013 ASPIRE Awards in Adult Vaccine Research
Mission
The mission of the 2013 ASPIRE Awards in Adult Vaccine Research is to advance medical knowledge to better understand the burden of pneumococcal disease in adults.
The burden of pneumococcal disease in the general adult population has been extensively studied; however, it is not well-defined in special populations, including subgroups with underlying disease comorbidities and/or those living in long-term community settings.
Pfizer invites investigators to apply for the 2013 ASPIRE Awards in Adult Vaccine Research through submission of innovative research proposals for evaluation of the epidemiology and burden of pneumococcal disease in adults with underlying disease comorbidities and/or those living in long-term community settings.
2013 Research Topic
Evaluating the Burden of Pneumococcal Disease in Adults in the United States
An applicant should have a strong research interest within the areas of focus and should consider the following components when developing their research proposals:
A. The burden of pneumococcal disease and serotype distribution in adults including but not limited to:
• Individuals with increased risk of pneumococcal disease including those with underlying comorbidities.
Comorbidities may include but are not limited to:
◦ Diabetes mellitus
◦ Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) or other chronic pulmonary disorder
◦ Oncologic disorders
◦ Chronic renal disease
◦ Hepatic disease
◦ Autoimmune disorders
• Those living in community settings (e.g., extended-care facilities, correctional institutions).
• Regional evaluation of pneumococcal resistance and serotype distribution.
• Carriage of Streptococcus pneumoniae in the adult population.
B. Association of pneumococcal pneumonia with influenza or other respiratory viral illnesses
C. The following topics fall outside of the scope of the ASPIRE Adult Vaccine Research Program:
• General education and / or training.
• Support for ongoing clinical programs that are part of an organization’s routine operations.
• Proposals that evaluate populations outside of the United States or Puerto Rico.
Proposals whose primary objective is to financially quantify outcomes as it relates to a Pfizer product(s) are outside the scope of the program.
Research Expectations
Within the specified patient populations of interest, investigators are expected to:
• Generate data regarding the burden of pneumococcal disease in adults and/or evaluation of adult vaccination efforts.
• Be able to complete the research in 12 months.
• Present and/or publish the results of the study.
Available Awards
Pfizer is funding research awards up to a maximum of $100,000 USD* each (including direct costs, institutional overhead costs, and indirect costs) for one year to conduct research generating data that will lead to a better understanding of burden of pneumococcal disease in adults.
*Please note that study budgets will be evaluated separately to ensure the requested funding is commensurate with the work proposed.
Deadline for Application
Applications must be received by 11:59pm EST on July 2, 2013.
Clinician-Scientist Development Three-Year Award in Myasthenia Gravis and Related Disorders of the Neuromuscular Junction
Cosponsored by the American Brain Foundation and the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America
Application Deadline: October 1, 2013
The American Brain Foundation, the foundation of the American Academy of Neurology, and the Myasthenia Gravis Foundation of America are pleased to announce a three-year Clinician-Scientist Development Award to support a clinician scientist’s research related to myasthenia gravis. The award aims to recognize the importance of good clinical research and encourage young investigators in clinical studies.
The three-year award will consist of an annual salary of $75,000 plus $5,000 in educational expenses, per year.
Supplementation of the stipend with other grants or by the fellowship institution is permissible, but fellows may not accept other fellowships, similar awards, or have another source of support for more than 50 percent of their research salary during the first year of an American Brain Foundation Clinical Research Training Fellowship. If similar awards are obtained after completion of the first year of the American Brain Foundation Clinical Research Training Fellowship, fellows are required to submit a revised budget for review by executive members of the American Brain Foundation Research Committee or may need to forfeit the rest of the American Brain Foundation award. Only direct costs will be funded by this award.
ELIGIBILITY
1. For the purpose of this fellowship, clinical research is defined as “patient-oriented research conducted with human subjects, or translational research specifically designed to develop treatments or enhance diagnosis of neurological disease. These areas of research include epidemiologic or behavioral studies, clinical trials, studies of disease mechanisms, the development of new technologies, and health services and outcomes research.” Disease-related studies not directly involving humans or human tissue also are encouraged if the primary goal is the development of therapies, diagnostic tests, or other tools to prevent or mitigate neurological diseases.
2. Applicant must be an AAN member interested in an academic career in clinical research who has completed residency, fellowship, or a post-doctoral fellowship (for a PhD) within the past five years. Those early in their clinical research careers will be given priority.
