This grant program funds multiple types of projects and has enabled the progression of pioneering concepts to research studies, the establishment of renowned clinicians and basic scientists transdisciplinary teams unifying a broad range of expertise and skills, the development of extremely talented junior faculty, the provision of infrastructure support for faculty to continue ground-breaking research, and more.

The University of Oklahoma Health Campus would like to express our sincerest appreciation to the Presbyterian Health Foundation for their long-standing generous support. Since 2014, PHF has given $40. 9 million to support the PHF Research Grants Program that funds multiple types of grants (e.g., Bridge, CTGA, Seed, TAG, Clinical Scientist Development, and Symposia Grants).

To date, this investment has facilitated the ability of our researchers to successfully compete at the national level and develop research programs, resulting in approximately $389 million in extramural funding. PHF grants are awarded three times per year, with start dates of January 1, July 1, and October 1. Provided below is the Grant Cycles Table.

PHF Clinician Scientist Development Mechanism Changes New Effort and Department Chair Letter Requirement: At least 10% PI effort is now required for this mechanism. A support letter from the Department Chair indicating at least 10% protected time for the PI to conduct the Clinician Scientist Y1 project, if awarded, is now required.

The letter must also state that if the PI is awarded a K-level federal grant (or similar mechanism) in the future, the chair is willing and able to accommodate the increased protected time required for that project. Reminder: Department Chair Signature Requirement : Department Chair signature is now required on the Face Page of the PHF Clinician Scientist Development application.

This signature certifies that the that the necessary effort for the proposal will be protected if the application is funded by PHF. PHF TAG Mechanism Changes New Narrative Requirement : Investigators are required to demonstrate how their request expands existing equipment, replaces outdated equipment, or fills a need not currently met on campus through the Core facilities.

Indicate whether you have sought out these resources on campus and if these resources are currently available on campus. In alignment with PHF’s priorities, applications that demonstrate the potential for transformative impact in translational research will be given preference.

Addition to Review Process : Before any submission is reviewed by the committee and any recommendation made, and after submission of the final application, each TAG application will be reviewed by the Institutional Core Research Facility for confirmation that the equipment is not currently available on campus (i.e., in working order and readily available for the proposed use).

An application will not be recommended to PHF for funding if approval is not granted. No additional action is required of the investigator. iLabs Registration Requirement : Going forward, all resources funded through the TAG mechanism will be required to be registered through iLabs.

PHF Proposal Process Updates - Resubmission Applications and PRMS Review for All Applications An investigator is permitted one resubmission of a PHF application that was not initially recommended for funding. The resubmission application must be accompanied by a completed Introduction to the Application form (attached), submitted with the application as a separate PDF.

PHF Application Introduction to the Resubmission Form Effective immediately for all PHF mechanisms: When applicable, investigators must have submitted their proposal to the Protocol Review and Monitoring System at the time of application .

For all cancer-related studies, a letter of support is required from the applicable Stephenson Cancer Center (SCC) Protocol Review & Monitoring System (PRMS): Disease Group for clinical trials, Biospecimen Acquisition Committee (BAC) for specimen research. Proposals will not be reviewed without this letter of support.

PHF New Reporting Requirement Beginning in December 2023, PHF has added a new reporting requirement to all progress reports. If $10,000 or more remain unexpended on the grant, the Progress Report must include an explanation for why unexpended funds remain. If an investigator expects to have significant funds remaining, there is the option to request a no-cost extension within 40 days of the grant’s end date.

OUHC Principal Investigators are eligible if they meet the following criteria: 1) have submitted an extramural application within the past 18 months that was scored but not funded, 2) are requesting over $750,000 in total direct costs and over $200,000 in total facilities and administration (F&A) costs; and 3) received a review that ranks applications and provides critiques.

This program can now provide funding for up to $75,000 for one year. If you have any questions, please email VPR@ouhsc. edu .

PHF Bridge Grant Guidelines/Application Presbyterian Health Foundation (PHF) Clinician Scientist Development Grant Program – Request For Applications Cycle I PHF Clinician Scientist Development Grant Program Deadline: TBA The primary objective of the PHF Clinician Scientist Development Grant Program is to provide funding to a new or early-stage clinician scientist faculty member.

This award is designed to support the applicant’s clinical and/or translational research project and to assist him or her with advancing this research project to a level that will be competitive for funding through a federal career development award mechanism. This program can provide funding for up to two years.

The second year of funding, will be based on successful achievement of identified milestones, completion of an application for Year Two funds, and whether funds are available. The Principal Investigator must be an OUHC primary faculty member with appointment at OUHC as an Assistant Professor.

A support letter from the Department Chair indicating at least 10% protected time for the PI to conduct the Clinician Scientist Y1 project, if awarded, is now required. The letter must also state that if the PI is awarded a K-level federal grant (or similar mechanism) in the future, the chair is willing and able to accommodate the increased protected time required for that project.

Fellows are permitted to apply with a letter from their department chair guaranteeing the fellow will hold a faculty position that is not dependent on receipt of the grant at the award start date.

New or early-stage clinical scientist faculty members with Temporary Faculty appointments (faculty with academic titles such as instructor, lecturer, or titles modified by prefixes such as visiting, adjunct, clinical, or temporary research appointments with suffix “of Research”) must obtain approval from the Senior Associate Vice President for Research and Partnerships before submitting an application for this program.

Approval will require a letter from their Department Chairperson indicating a departmental commitment of salary, research space, and time for development of an independent career at OUHC. Requests should be sent to ORA4PHF@ouhsc. edu ).

Applicants must not have had a prior NIH career development award or an independent NIH R01 award; must have an independent clinical and/or translational research project; must have an identified senior, experienced research mentor; and may not have another PHF grant during the duration of this award.
