IOIBD Grant Details

STIPEND

Grants to a maximum of $100,000 USD for up to one year may be awarded. Preference will be given to grants less than or equal to $50,000 USD. No monies will be awarded to cover principle or co-investigators salaries. If institutions mandate that salaries of any size be included within any grant application, the investigator will have to come up with that money, but it will not be acceptable to include a salary line for principle or co- investigators in the grant operating budget. Salaries can be included for research assistants, technicians, and trainees.

A short presentation of the project outcome will be made during the next annual meeting by the sponsor.

ELIGIBILITY

Applicants MUST have an active or senior IOIBD member as PI or co-investigator.

REVIEW OF APPLICATIONS

Applications will be reviewed by a grant review panel made up of members of the IOIBD. It will be at the discretion of this panel if they solicit external reviews. The final awarding of grants will be undertaken by the Executive Committee based on the recommendations of the grant review panel. If a member of the Executive Committee is applying for a grant he/she will not participate in the deliberations during the final grant awarding process.

ETHICS

Clinical investigation

The IOIBD attaches great importance to the ethical acceptability of experiments involving human subjects. It is recognized that the investigator has a professional responsibility in this respect, and that the institution in which the research will be conducted must also make certain that the experiments are conducted in an ethical way. The IOIBD examines the ethical considerations as part of its review of each proposal, and funds will not be provided unless the protocol is entirely satisfactory.

The IOIBD requires that each clinical investigation project for which funds are sought from the Foundation be reviewed with regard to its acceptability on ethical grounds and approved by an institutional ethical review board. The Institutional Review Board approval must be submitted.

Similarly, appropriate approval for conduct of animal research must be submitted. Certification of care and use of experimental animals must be submitted.

DEADLINE

The submission deadline will be June 21, 2010.
