Developmental Pilot Awards
Purpose
The Penn CFAR Developmental Core Pilot Award Program is designed to assist faculty member applicants (Assistant Professor and above) and junior non-faculty applicants (Instructor and/or Research Associate) to launch or further develop a successful independently funded HIV/AIDS-related project. In addition to funding, this support is provided through mentoring (or collaborative partnerships for more seasoned investigators). All funded pilot award recipients are assigned CFAR program mentors for the duration of the project, but mentoring is available regardless of whether or not an application is funded.

Types of Awards
Successful CFAR Pilot Awards focus on any aspect of HIV/AIDS clinical care, epidemiology, virology, immunology, structural biology, vaccine development, or prevention that are determined to be relevant to the goals of our program. Priority is given to junior faculty who have no other source of funding and who are seeking support for the development of preliminary data for an NIH R01-type application. The University of Pennsylvania CFAR Developmental Core offers two types of pilot awards:
General Pilot Awards: Faculty members
Eligible applicants must have a faculty appointment equivalent to Assistant Professor or Staff Scientist or above in any track at a Penn CFAR institution (or a commitment for such an appointment at the time the award would start).
For junior faculty applicants, a one-page mentorship plan with a senior faculty member is strongly encouraged; for non-HIV/AIDS investigators of any level, a partnership plan with an established HIV/AIDS investigator is also encouraged.
Mentored Research Scholar awards: Young Investigators (Pre-Faculty)
Young investigators at the Instructor/Research Associate/Staff Scientist level who are poised to begin an independent research program within a mentored environment at a Penn CFAR institution are eligible, and must include a letter of support from their scientific mentor. In addition to the above letters, a one-page mentorship plan is required. Guidelines for the Mentorship Plan are available through the CFAR website.
Please note that Post-docs and Fellows are not eligible for CFAR Mentored Research Scholar Awards or General Pilot Awards unless they have institutional commitment for a Pre-Faculty (Instructor/Research Associate/Staff Scientist) position at the time the award will start.

Request for Applications
Fall 2020 Pilot Request for Applications
The Penn Center for AIDS Research (Penn CFAR) invites Pilot Grant applications offered through its Developmental Core. Proposals in all areas of HIV/AIDS clinical, basic and behavioral research are welcomed. The CFAR is especially interested in proposals that bridge programmatic areas and, in particular projects that link clinical, basic and behavioral scientists, and investigators outside the HIV/AIDS field turning their focus to projects linked with CFAR HIV/AIDS investigators. See the full RFA here!

Goals for All Participants
The Developmental Core is intended to help the pilot grant applicants achieve the following goals:
- Translate the pilot grant application into a subsequent peer reviewed application (NIH or other agency)
- Gain familiarity with the Penn CFAR, CFAR cores and services.
- Networking—introduction to colleagues at the Penn CFAR and other departments, centers, and institutes of the University of Pennsylvania, The Wistar Institute and Children’s Hospital, and identification of potential opportunities for extramural collaboration.
- Develop awareness of policies and procedures relevant to the awardee's work (clear understanding of human subjects and/ or animal research requirements, good clinical practice, etc).
- Achieve career advancement and work towards independence.
- Establish an ethically sound research environment.
- Assist applicants whose pilot submissions were not funded to address reviewers' concerns to achieve success in the following application cycle.

Responsibilities of the Awardee / Participant Applicant
- Participate in Pilot Program Charge meeting held at beginning of the grant year, following notice of award.
- The CFAR faculty’s time and the CFAR Developmental Core are valuable resources. It is the responsibility of the awardee/applicant to ask for assistance when needed and to be fully prepared for mentoring meetings. Preparatory materials such as pending papers, drafts of future grant specific aims, or other information should be provided at least 2 weeks in advance of meetings.
- In presentations, abstracts, and publications, acknowledge CFAR funding with either of the following, as appropriate:
-
Direct CFAR Funding Support: This research was supported by a grant from the Penn Center for AIDS Research (CFAR), an NIH-funded program (P30 AI 045008).
-
Indirect/Partial Funding Support: This publication/presentation/grant proposal was made possible through core services and support from the Penn Center for AIDS Research (CFAR), an NIH-funded program (P30 AI 045008).
-
- For pilot award recipients: the awardee/applicant must participate actively in the program relationship and engage the assigned CFAR faculty in the process of transforming the pilot award grant into a subsequent grant submission. The awardee/applicant should engage the mentor at all stages of grant preparation, from the initial conception of an idea to the final grant submission.
- The pilot awardee must provide the CFAR mentor with a copy of any grant application in a reasonable time (at least 4 weeks) for feedback. This timeline requires that the process of mentorship start well before submission (i.e., at least 3 months prior to due date) if planning for final critical review and revision.
- To monitor progress of the Pilot project and submission of a subsequent grant application, the awardee/applicant must agree to meet at least twice a year or more as indicated in the mentoring plan or as requested by his/her CFAR faculty mentor. Awardees/applicants agree to send a preparatory e-mail to assigned CFAR faculty outlining the topics to be covered and goals of the mentoring meeting.
- The awardee/applicant should take advantage of opportunities for collaborative research within the Penn CFAR and other CFARs of the country.
- The awardee should participate in general professional development activities and research in-progress sessions, such as Pilot Feedback Talks, coordinated by CFAR Development Core for added feedback on active awards.
- Awardees will complete the NIH Human Subjects Study Record required for all projects with a human subjects component. To determine if your project has a human subjects component, please see the NIH Questionnaire.
- Mentees (both for funded Pilot awards and unfunded Pilot applications) will complete annual progress reports that review progress, spending (for funded programs), highlights, next steps, and track abstracts/presentations/publications.
- As mentioned in responsibilities of the Faculty Mentor, the awardee/applicant also will complete a survey distributed by the CFAR Developmental Core related to the mentorship program. This information should be factual and focus on scientific progress and a frank evaluation of the pilot program. The goal is to identify things that work and things that do not work so the program can be improved in subsequent years of this grant cycle.
