PI Request Justification (not to exceed 2 pages)

1.  Mentor Submitting as Principal Investigator for Research Fellow/Trainee Project
If this project will be conducted by a research fellow/trainee identified on the first page of this application, briefly describe the circumstance, or note N/A.
2.  Funding Overlap
A. What other funding is currently available for this project? If funding exists, explain why additional funding is needed and provide specifics regarding funding source (i.e. internal, external, agency name, agency #, etc.)
NOTE: If the ICTS JIT requested costs are less than the full project costs, explain the additional funding source for this project.
B. Have you or any of your collaborators previously received BJHF/ICTS Pilot funding or JIT funding for this same project? Yes No If yes, please explain.
3.  Purpose
This program is designed to support investigators in obtaining final data A) for developing a clinical/translational proposal to be submitted for extramural funding and/or B) leading to a concrete improvement in patient care at Barnes-Jewish Hospital or St. Louis Children’s Hospital. Depending on your purpose for requesting funds, describe:
A.  How the ICTS subsidized services will help you obtain external funding.
In your answer, include all four of the following: 1) name of PI for external grant submission; 2) funding agency; 3) funding mechanism; and 4) anticipated date of submission.

4. Project Specifics. Please provide:
A.  A brief description of the project
B.  An explanation of services to be performed and the relation to the project (should clearly match the funding request shown on the first page of this application)
C.  If applicable, address ability/plan to meet recruitment within the 12 month JIT funding period
D.  For applications that deal with animal models or in vitro culture systems, there must be included in the text, a DIRECT or CLEAR LINK to human health or disease. Describe how the project indicates a clear pathway from expected findings to prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of human disease.

Use a separate page to answer questions 1-4, where needed.
