Non-Federal Funding - Grants
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF)

ALSF's Bridge Grant is designed to sustain research projects falling between the end of funding by the National Institutes of Health (NIH) R or P Award and the beginning of a competitively renewed NIH Award. Project must have been previously funded by NIH R01, R03, R21 or P01 Award. R01 Supplements are not eligible for Bridge Grants. Researchers must have applied to the NIH for an R01 or P01 renewal for an ongoing project or to continue the project via new R01 or P01 and received notification dated within the last 6 months. The R01 application must have scored ≤35th percentile but outside of the agency's fundable range. The original NIH project must be aligned with ALSF's mission, and thus must be directly relevant to pediatric cancer. Amount: $100,000 for 1 year

R01 Supplements are not eligible for Springboard Grants. Applications must have scored ≤25% but outside of the agency's fundable range. If submitting a project from an NIH P01 application, the project must have scored at 3.0 or better in the initial review.

Ovarian Cancer Research Fund (OCRF)
Woman to Woman
OCRF is designed to support scientific research that leads to more effective identification, treatment and ultimately a cure for ovarian cancer. Woman to Woman seeks to improve the quality of care for gynecologic cancer patients by strengthening coping capacities through a patient-to-patient support model. To ensure the success of the program, each Woman to Woman program must have the support of a physician champion in the gynecologic oncology department, who will assist in referring appropriate patients to the program, as well as ensure support from departmental and hospital leadership. It is expected that each Woman to Woman program will become self-funding after the first year.
Amount: $50,000 for 1 year
Deadline: May 1, 2014
