The IETF is requesting proposals for grants addressing the nosology, etiology, pathogenesis, treatment or other topics relevant to essential tremor (ET).
Our aim is to stimulate inquiry into this poorly understood clinical disorder and to provide support to projects that are innovative and give promise of receiving more substantial support from NIH, K Award or R01 and/or other sources if suffi cient preliminary information can be obtained from projects supported by the IETF. Preference will be given to individuals who do not currently have any R01 support from NIH.
Concise, clearly written proposals that are hypothesis-driven have the best chance of being funded. Two proposals are being considered this year. The scope of the proposals should be appropriate for a one-year funding period with the possibility of being renewed for a second year. Additional project support beyond the fi rst year of funding requires a second proposal and explanation for additional funding, to be reviewed in competition with all proposals submitted during that funding cycle. In general, each IETF research grant will not exceed $25,000 each for a given year. Institutional indirect costs will not be provided.
In rare instances, it may be possible to provide limited supplemental support to ongoing projects supported by NIH or other sources for which current support is insuffi cient. In such instances, a description of other budgetary support must be provided in full and the proposal must clearly state which part of the project the IETF funds will support.
