1. College of Medicine Resources in Support of Your Research Space, Money, Cores etc.

2. Office for Research Development Joann Sullivan ORD is an incredible resource for T32s, Ps and big Us Collect and review all biosketches Provide university boilerplates Review to be sure all parts are in place Great at grantsmanship

3. Drug Development Karen Lackey has valuable connections with industry bigwigs Important to make your portfolio known to her so that when she meets with pharm she is aware of what you can bring to the table For example, 8 million dollar three year grant from BMS for MUSC fibrosis group

4. IP/Biotech spin off Foundation for Research Development-MUSC IP group is outstanding- Michael Rusnak If you have not met with them, you should to assess IP potential of what you are working on We do plan a faculty roundtable with the IP group as well as drug development. Center for Innovation and Entrepreneurship provides resources and expertise for technology commercialization- G Thomas Finnegan SCBIO and SCRA provide networking and help with startups

5. Pre submission grant reviews SCTR will send out your grant for pre review by someone you identify. Requires 4 weeks ARROWS provides similar grant pre review for women faculty B and BS- chalkboard talks at the specific aims stage of development K to R club- senior investigators hear presentation by K awardee applying for R funding

6. Using the EMR in your research Upcoming Roundtable by Jim Oates in October

7. Cores/Centers State of the art cores supported by the college, cancer center, university providing services at discounted prices. Apply for membership in Centers (Cancer, Imaging) Some cores, Genomic core/Lipidomic core, have pilot projects to provide funds for use of the core

10. VA Not what it used to be Funding rates for most grants is below that of the NIH Specific areas, however, have reasonable to good funding rates. Health services research, PTSD, Rehab Check with Mandy LaRue- have to be pre qualified other than Rehab grants

11. Funding Bridge Funding- R renewals, Bridge from Ks to Rs, Bridge from Rs to Rs and Rs to Us. Will consider triaged resubmissions COMETs program- open now- for previously funded individuals who have lost funding. Requires teaming up with another faculty in a similar situation. Strict progress guidelines Pilots- SCTR, Cancer Center, MCRC, SCOR Equipment- Provosts office grants to fund new equipment or to replace dead/dying equipment- Chris Davies is the contact.

12. Publicity New office headed by Joe Helpern Donors Cure Outreach to the community/newspaper/news stations Want to know about new grants, new papers etc of potential interest to the community

13. Space Space Committee headed by Craig Crosson Considers proposals for additional space needs. Proposals have to come from the Department Has no authority over hospital space
