Senior Research Awards Below are the guidelines for the Crohn's & Colitis Foundation’s Senior Research Awards: **Objective:** To provide established researchers with funds to generate sufficient preliminary data to become competitive for funds from other sources such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

**Applicant Eligibility:** Applicant must hold an MD and/or PhD (or equivalent degree) and must be employed by an institution (public non-profit, private non-profit, or government) that is engaged in health care and/or health-related research. He/she must have attained independence from his/her mentor. Eligibility is not restricted by citizenship or geography.

**Proposal Eligibility:** Proposal must be relevant to Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) or Crohn's disease and/or ulcerative colitis. Only one application is allowed per applicant per submission date. Simultaneous submission of a Senior Research Award and a Training Award is not permitted.

**Senior Research Awards Costs:**Total maximum award per year: $130,000 (subject to annual progress report approval). 1. **Direct Costs:** up to $118,182 per year 2.

**Indirect Costs:** 10% of direct costs, or up to $11,818 3. **Duration of Award:** One to Three Years ### **New Opportunity for Foundation Awardees to Access IBD Plexus!

** The Crohn’s & Colitis Foundation is pleased to inform researchers applying for its Senior Research Award (SRA) that they may gain access at no cost to the biosamples and/or research-ready datasets housed within**IBD Plexus**as part of a newly funded SRA research project. Interested investigators **must** contact IBD Plexus team to confirm data availability and feasibility at least 1 month prior to your submission.

IBD Plexus™ was founded by the Foundation with a mission to advance science, accelerate progress towards precision medicine and improve the care of patients living with IBD.

The multi-component IBD Plexus includes a biobank, pediatric and adult patient clinical data, patient-reported data, linked genetic and other molecular data and biosamples, central reference labs to generate molecular data (genetic, transcriptomic, microbiomic, etc.) from existing biosamples, as well as a data and analytical platform to house, organize, aggregate, and provide data for research.

Requests for biosamples must also be submitted to the IBD Plexus Academic Request for Proposals (RFP). Investigators who choose to convert biosamples to molecular data as part of their research proposal can use SRA funds to help defray those costs. Most molecular data generation is done at IBD Plexus central reference laboratories to promote standardization and the ability to pool results.

Further, IBD Plexus functions under the guiding principle that researchers who take advantage of the resources will also contribute back the raw data (not the analyses) they derive from patient biosamples. For more details about IBD Plexus data and samples, please review the**summary**and**guidelines**. The Foundation uses the **Proposal Central system**for all grant submissions.
