Frequently Asked Questions

Budget

Is there a general range or a cap for the grants?: The cap is $300K. If it is over this amount, the proposal will be rejected and returned to the applicant. The expected range is $20–300K with an average grant size of $100–120K.
Is there an indirect cap?: There is not. The advisory board discussed this and agreed that any indirect cost would be acceptable with the understanding that ROI accounts for 75% of selection criteria.
How many grants will be given?: The number of grants awarded will depend on the proposals. The total budget for this round of grants is $2 million in total.
Is this grant funded on a calendar year basis or fiscal year?: Neither. It can span over a calendar or fiscal year.
Are indirect costs available for admin?: You can add indirect costs for admin. That said, the higher the total cost, the lower the ROI which accounts for 75% of the total weight used to select proposals.

Personnel

Can more than one investigator be included? Relatedly, is the budget restricted to the personnel listed on the RFP (Primary Investigator, Patient Navigator, IT Manager) or was this just a suggestion?: Yes. The budget sheet does have empty grey rows that allows applicants to add other personal. What is listed is suggestions only.
Can the patient navigator role be performed by two staff at .50FTE?: Absolutely.
