This RFA track supports ovarian cancer–focused team science proposals aimed at developing large multi‑PI grants (e.g., multi‑PI R01 or other national multi‑project team grants). The intention is to build coordinated teams with substantial contributions from each investigator and a clear pathway to major external funding. Awards are planned for a 24‑month period with milestone‑based expectations. The review uses an NIH‑style peer review process.

- Budget is anticipated around $100,000; higher with justification may be considered.
- Funds distributed incrementally based on milestone progress.
- May support up to 5% salary support for co‑PIs and can support effort for faculty‑level biostatisticians/bioinformaticists/other specialists contributing to team proposal development (aligned to milestones).
- No indirect costs funded; funds may not be used to purchase equipment.
Deadline:
- Proposal deadline: March 31, 2026 (5:00 pm MST/MT).
