As a collaborative effort between UC's College of Medicine Office of Research and the Center for Clinical and Translational Science and Training (CCTST), we have developed the R Club Grant Program to assist early-stage investigators in the preparation of an NIH Research Grant.

The R Club aims to improve grantsmanship by promoting clarity of thought and logical presentation of a Research proposal - to have the greatest impact on fundability - by providing:

Workshops outlining a step-by-step guide on how to construct a Specific Aims page and a
competitive Research Proposal.
Proposal examples and templates of supporting documents.
Constructive feedback on a Specific Aims page (with tracked revisions, margin comments, and key recommendations).
For a select cohort, comprehensive proposal review of scientific and logical presentation of content (with tracked revisions, margin comments, and key recommendations) by a grant writer.

Eligibility: To be eligible for the R Club Grant Program, applicants must have a full-time junior faculty appointment and be a member of UC's College of Medicine and/or the CCTST. Applicants must be preparing an original or re-submission application that could ultimately lead to the funding of their first major NIH Research proposal. Members of underrepresented racial, ethnic, and socioeconomic groups, and candidates with disabilities are strongly encouraged to apply.

CCTST Membership: All participants of the R Club Grant Program must be CCTST members. CCTST membership is free and open to all. For online membership registration, go to https://cctst.uc.edu/user/register.

Timeline: The R Club Grant Program is available year-round. To take full advantage of the multi-level grant writing support, it is advised to submit this form a minimum of 4 months prior to your internal grant deadline.

Are you from a disadvantaged background?

Individuals from disadvantaged backgrounds are defined as those who meet two or more of the following criteria:
1. Were or currently are homeless, as defined by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act (Definition: https://nche.ed.gov/mckinney-vento/);
2. Were or currently are in the foster care system, as defined by the Administration for Children and Families (Definition: https://www.acf.hhs.gov/cb/focus-areas/foster-care);
3. Were eligible for the Federal Free and Reduced Lunch Program for two or more years (Definition: https://www.fns.usda.gov/school-meals/income-eligibility-guidelines);
4. Have/had no parents or legal guardians who completed a bachelor's degree (see https://nces.ed.gov/pubs2018/2018009.pdf);
5. Were or currently are eligible for Federal Pell grants (Definition: https://www2.ed.gov/programs/fpg/eligibility.html);
6. Received support from the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC) as a parent or child (Definition: https://www.fns.usda.gov/wic/wic-eligibility-requirements).
7. Grew up in one of the following areas: a) a U.S. rural area, as designated by the Health Resources and Services Administration (HRSA) Rural Health Grants Eligibility Analyzer (https://data.hrsa.gov/tools/rural-health), or b) a Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services-designated Low-Income and Health Professional Shortage Areas (qualifying zipcodes are included in the file). Only one of the two possibilities in #7 can be used as a criterion for the disadvantaged background definition.
Students from low socioeconomic (SES) status backgrounds have been shown to obtain bachelor's and advanced degrees at significantly lower rates than students from middle and high SES groups (see https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator_tva.asp), and are subsequently less likely to be represented in biomedical research. For background see Department of Education data at, https://nces.ed.gov/; https://nces.ed.gov/programs/coe/indicator_tva.asp; https://www2.ed.gov/rschstat/research/pubs/advancing-diversity-inclusion.pdf.
