No special application forms are required

Please provide six copies of the following:

1. A summary of the proposal that includes three components:

(A) an abstract describing the rationale, specific aims and general methodology of the project (not more than one page)

(B) an explanation of the potential impact of this research on the prevention, diagnosis and/or treatment of human cancer (not more than one page)

(C) a discussion of how the funds from the Charlotte Geyer Foundation will be used to address the score driving issues raised in the Summary Statement from the Study Section (not more than one page). Please be sure to include the expected date of resubmission to NCI for this proposal.

2. A copy of the NIH-NCI Summary Statement evaluating the proposal submitted to NCI together with responses to the Statement’s critiques.

3. A one to two page curriculum vitae for the principal investigator, including references to recent related publications.

4. A proposed budget including planned starting and ending dates of the research and percent of effort of the investigator. (Foundation policy limits indirect costs to ten percent of direct. Please note that total direct and indirect costs should not exceed $100,000. We do not fund equipment purchases.)

5. A list of all outstanding and pending grants of the principal investigator including the dollar amount, time period, name of granting agency, and percent effort of the investigator.

Proposals are assessed three times a year. Submission deadlines are March 15, July 15 and November 15, with award announcements made within thirty days of the deadline date. Proposals must be RECEIVED by the dates listed, and not postmarked by the dates listed.

The Charlotte Geyer Foundation award is for a single resubmission. The award cannot run concurrently with other funding for the same project, therefore distribution of the award is made in increments throughout the granting period.

Upon conclusion of the research, awardees are required to submit an accounting of funds granted, together with a brief report of research results and the outcome of the new submission for an R01 or other award.

The Foundation would also like to receive copies of all articles resulting from the research that are submitted for publication.

All inquiries and submissions should be sent to:
