Scholarship Description
Mission Boost Grants (MBG) are designed to support research projects that specifically focus on translation to human testing. MBGs are opportunities for independent investigators at all levels to apply for additional, or "boost," resources for innovative, clinical-enabling projects.
MBGs offer 2 stages of funding:
-Stage I requires the investigator to develop outcome-specific, unequivocal milestones that reduce the risks of studying a new drug, device, or procedure in patients.
-Stage II supports testing in cancer patients.
Stage I Mission Boost
Stage I will be for a term of up to 2 years with an allowable budget of $135,000 per year direct costs plus 10% allowable indirect costs ($297,000 allowable total costs).
Stage II Mission Boost
Stage II will be for a term of up to 18 months with an allowable budget up to $545,000 direct costs plus 10% allowable indirect costs.
