Grant Submissions- Process Flow
Be advised that both the COM and CCC Grants Management Office is more strictly enforcing grant submission timelines.
For COM investigators, your intention to submit a new proposal must be sent through the REDCap portal (link: https://redcap.osumc.edu/redcap/surveys/?s=TYPT3ALFMN), but if fewer than 6 weeks remain before the deadline they may not be able to accommodate your application and will deny the submission.
CCC applications should continue to be routed to the CCC Grants Office, by emailing an inquiry to Li.Zheng@osumc.edu
Funding Opportunities
Simulation Modeling and Systems Science to Address Health Disparities
The National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities (NIMHD) is supporting a new funding opportunity announcement (FOA): NOT-MD-20-025. The FOA is titled: Simulation Modeling and Systems Science to Address Health Disparities
The purpose of this Notice of Special Interest is to support investigative and collaborative research focused on developing and evaluating simulation modeling and systems science to understand and address minority health and health disparities.
First Due Date of Application: October 05, 2020
For inquiries related to NIMHD’s scientific and research involvement concerning this FOA, please contact Dr. Rada K. Dagher at rada.dagher@nih.gov. View the full funding opportunity announcement for more information.
Disseminating and Implementing Patient-Centered Outcomes Research (PCOR) Evidence into Practice through Interoperable Clinical Decision Support
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites R18 grant applications that disseminate and implement patient-centered outcomes research (PCOR) evidence into clinical practice through clinical decision support (CDS). AHRQ seeks projects that scale interoperable CDS across different health care systems and technologies (e.g., different electronic health records) and that disseminate lessons learned about how to achieve CDS scalability and interoperability. https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PA-20-074.html
NLM Information Resource Grants to Reduce Health Disparities (G08 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) solicits resource grant applications for projects that will bring useful, usable health information to health disparity populations and their health care providers. Access to useful, usable, understandable health information is an important factor when making health decisions. Proposed projects should exploit the capabilities of computer and information technology and health sciences libraries to bring health-related information to consumers and their health care providers. https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/pa-files/PAR-20-283.html
Paul B. Beeson Emerging Leaders Career Development Award in Aging (K76 Clinical Trial Required)
This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) invites early-stage physician and other health professional investigators with a commitment to aging and/or aging-related diseases to apply for this award to advance their research and leadership skills in their specialty and in the broader field of aging and geriatrics research.
NIA is pursuing this initiative to recruit early-stage investigators who have begun to establish research programs and who, through this award, will be ready to assume leadership roles in their field of expertise and will be poised to change theory, practice, and health outcomes related to the health of older individuals. Unlike other mentored K awards, candidates for this award must have received competitively awarded research support as a Program Director/Principal Investigator (PD/PI) at the faculty level or have otherwise leveraged faculty-level research support to develop an independent line of research. They must show evidence of leadership in the clinical or research domain. https://grants.nih.gov/grants/guide/rfa-files/RFA-AG-21-021.html

The National Cancer Database (NCDB) is pleased to announce that the Participant User File (PUF) application for 2004-2017 PUF data is now open. The NCDB is accepting applications for site-specific files. The PUF application is open year-round, except for periods of brief maintenance and updates. Please note, there are major changes to the PUF web page and PUF data that are described below.
The PUF Data Dictionary and all other PUF documents have been moved to https://www.facs.org/quality-programs/cancer/ncdb/puf. All of the PUF information, including the Data Dictionary, Application Instructions, and other information are now included on this web page. The Data Dictionary is provided as a PDF file.
The 2017 PUF data include new radiation data items, including variables for Phase I, Phase II and Phase III radiation. The prior radiation items have been converted to the new radiation variables where possible. New record layouts are also provided to read in the new data, as well as new SAS and SPSS scripts (STATA scripts are no longer provided). Prior SAS scripts, SPSS scripts, STATA scripts and record layouts cannot be used to read in the 2017 PUF data. More information about these changes can be found in the Summary of 2017 PUF changes document on the PUF web page.
Other changes in the 2017 PUF data include updated vital status, 30 and 90 day mortality, and months of follow up for the 2016 diagnosis year. In addition, two new primary site files are available for diagnosis years 2010 and later: Langerhans cell histiocytosis, and Post Transplant Lymphoproliferative Disorder (PTLD).
For additional information please visit the PUF web page.
Questions regarding the NCDB PUF data and application process can be sent to NCDB staff at NCDB_PUF@facs.org.
Are you contemplating working with a unpaid volunteer student?
SHARP can help you work out the logistics. We can arrange for virtual access for OSU affiliates at no cost, and virtual access for non-OSU affiliates for a fee (to set up a virtual machine for them to remote to).
For more information, contact Judy M. Opalek, PhD (judy.opalek@osumc.edu)
SHARP Staff – Return to Campus
We are in the midst of our Return to Campus plan and you may be seeing us in the office more often. We need to adhere to the social distancing requirements in our shared space, and we will be working on modified schedules until a full return is feasible. All SHARP staff continue to be reachable by phone, email, and text, whether in the office or working remotely. We appreciate your patience during this time.
Please note that the SHARP staff are working 100% remotely at this time and are still fully available for virtual meetings and discussion. We have nearly every normal tool at our disposal during this time and are only limited by face-to-face interactions and campus-based physical resources. If you have any questions or concerns—reach out!
