American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Sandy Kirkley Clinical Outcome Research Grant
The late Dr. Sandy Kirkley was a passionate advocate for well-conducted randomized controlled trials to evaluate the efficacy of interventions in orthopaedic sports medicine. It was her strong contention that the field must "rise to the challenge of designing and implementing clinical trials that provide the same level of evidence in support of treatments as our nonsurgical colleagues demand." It is one of her intellectual legacies, then, that our profession in general and the Society specifically embrace and support outcome research that has the potential to inform evidence-based practice.
To honor the memory and spirit of Dr. Kirkley, AOSSM established a $20,000 grant that provides start-up, "seed," or supplemental funding for an outcome research project or pilot study. One grant will be awarded each year and eligible applicants are not restricted to newer investigators as is the case for the Young Investigator Grants.
Deadline: December 1, 2013
American Orthopaedic Society for Sports Medicine Young Investigators Grant
The Young Investigator Grant provides awards in amounts of up to $40,000 aimed at providing "seed money," or start-up funds, for pilot projects.

Any investigational team seeking such a grant must include at least one member of AOSSM in good standing.

Long term value of results
Pilot data
Pre-Review Deadline: August 15th, 2013. You do not need to include any signatures for pre-review.

American Epilepsy Society and the Epilepsy Foundation Research Infrastructure Awards
Deadline: August 19, 2013
Research Infrastructure Awards Program to Establish Collaborative Multicenter Research Programs:
The AES and the Epilepsy Foundation are partnering to provide an opportunity for scientists to obtain support for nationwide or international networks of clinical or basic science researchers focused on understanding the causes, consequences and treatment of epilepsy. Multicenter research programs are viewed as an important venue through which investigators from around the world can establish centralized databases, common protocols, shared resources, core laboratories and exchange rapidly developing techniques and technologies. Such cooperative efforts are anticipated to hasten the speed of discovery. These funds are meant to be used to support pilot projects and hold organizational and planning sessions with representatives from each center in the planned network. These planning sessions should also be used to develop the research effort and collect results that would be used to prepare and submit a larger application for support from the Federal Government and establish the multicenter research program over the long term. Principle Investigators should be members of the Society.
Awards will be based on a proposed budget and are anticipated to be up to $50,000.00 per year. A one year no-cost extension may be requested with justification. A second year of funding can be requested via a progress report and competitive renewal application after the first year is completed. Any funds unexpended at the end of the funding period(s) must be returned.
Application Procedures and Information:
1. Scientists interested in applying for a Research Infrastructure Award should send a letter of intent by August 19, 2013. Letter of intent package must include:
• Letter (Max 2 pages)
1. A listing of the centers involved in the network
2. The rationale for the proposed network
3. Explanation of why the work is not covered by current grant support and why the proposed multicenter network is important.
• A 250 word abstract
• A 3 page (NIH format) biosketch with current funding for each investigator in the proposed network This single electronic document should be e-mailed to ctubby@aesnet.org. Appropriate proposals will be selected within 1 month (notification on or about October 4, 2013).
Selected candidates will then be asked to submit a complete application by November 1, 2013 for funding in January 2014.

Society of Interventional Radiology Foundation Pilot Research Grant Program
Supported by C.R. Bard
The Pilot Research Grant is designed to fund research in areas identified by SIR Foundation as important to the advancement of interventional radiology and patient care. These grants generally address a specific hypothesis and generate preliminary data that could be used to justify or strengthen subsequent comprehensive applications to national peer-reviewed funding agencies. These grants may be issued to support the initial research efforts of faculty as well as those who have limited research experience.
AWARD
Grant funding of up to $25,000 will be made for pilot or seed grant-type projects that test a new idea or help support a new area or direction of research in interventional radiology.
ELIGIBILITY
Grants are available to full-time interventional radiology faculty and trainees with an MD, DO, PhD, or equivalent degree in educational institutions within the United States and Canada. Postdoctorate candidates are invited to apply.
Applications from non-Society of Interventional Radiology (SIR) members will be considered, but such applications are required to have significant input and involvement by an SIR member.
Applications will be accepted from citizens of the United States or Canada or those who have permanent resident status therein. Permanent residents must submit documentation of their status. If an applicant is at an institution in the US or Canada and is on a visa, a letter from the department chair (for faculty applicants) or fellowship director (for trainee applicants) guaranteeing completion of the project will be required.
APPLICATION PROCEDURES
Applicants should propose research that advances the field of interventional radiology. The application must contain a detailed research plan and a one-year budget for the planned research with all other funding sources indicated. All funds requested in the application must be fully justified. Insufficient justification or failure to describe completely the sources and use of other funds available to the investigator will result in deferral or disapproval of the application.
A letter from the department chair (for faculty applicants) or fellowship director (for trainee applicants) must be provided that indicates approval of application, comments on the merit of the project, and explains the extent to which the department is supporting the applicant’s research in terms of funding and/or available facilities. It is important that the letter indicate commitment to provide protected research time and support the salary of the applicant during the research period.

The Academic Transition Grant is designed for interventional radiologists over the age of 40 who have recently begun academic careers after spending several years in nonacademic practice. The grant is intended to facilitate the establishment of a record of independent research by the investigator in order to promote a successful academic career.
This grant provides up to $25,000 to support a pilot or seed grant project that tests a new idea or helps support a new area or direction of research in interventional radiology.
Grants are available to full-time faculty, over 40 years of age, with a MD, DO or equivalent degree in educational institutions in the United States and Canada.

Applicants should propose research that advances the science of interventional radiology. The application must contain a detailed research plan, including a one-year budget for the planned research. All funds requested in the application must be fully justified. Insufficient justification will result in deferral or disapproval of the application. Applications of scientific merit not funded by the Academic Transition Grant will automatically be considered for funding by the Pilot Research Grant.
The proposal should include a cover letter from the applicant indicating how the proposed research project will assist in their transition from private practice to academia, and they understand that they are expected to do the majority of the work in the actual conduct of the proposed studies. In addition, a letter from the department chair must be provided that indicates approval of the application, comments on the merit of the project, and explains the extent to which the department is supporting the applicant’s research in terms of funding and/or available facilities.
