Provide a detailed budget and budget justification for how you plan to use the requested funding. Remember that these funds are to be used mainly for the costs of starting a collaborative clinical trial. Allowable expense categories include: travel between sites (e.g., car mileage, train); catering (excluding alcoholic beverages) for collaboration meetings; Online meeting services (e.g., WebEx or Go-to-Meeting); conference call services etc.; training and start-up costs; and IRB costs for additional sites. See below for a full list of eligible expenses. Non-allowable expense categories include: salary; excessive travel costs; alcoholic beverages. *

Budget Justification must include a rationale for how the expense category is necessary to foster a collaboration for the proposed pilot study. Explain how the 5K funds will be used to develop your collaboration and/or project and provide a timeline for achieving the goals of this award (include target date for completion of collaborative proposal for larger grant funding)

A statement from the PI that she/he will review and approve all reimbursement requests according to guidelines before they are submitted to the ASNR Executive Office for disbursement.

Provide a summary of your project for ASNR advertisement and publicity purposes (3 sentences maximum and in lay language): *

You have characters left.

Note: If IRB/REB approval at the proposing site is pending, ASNR can only provide a conditional approval until this is obtained.  An IRB/REB approved protocol at the proposing site is eligible for full consideration by ASNR and full funding if everything else meets criteria.

It is the responsibility of the Principal Investigator to assure that all participating sites receive IRB/REB approval before engaging in any study related activities.

If your proposal is selected for funding there will be some reporting responsibilities detailed at the time of notification. When the study is completed, a final report must be submitted within 6 months of completion.

If you have questions pertaining to appropriateness of your research, contact: Dr. Carolee Winstein at Winstein@usc.edu. If you have questions pertaining to the submission process, contact ASNR staff support.  In the subject line indicate: ASNR Clinical Trial Application Question

Eligible expenses with examples:

1.  Travel
Economy airfare, or other ground transportation for planning meetings; for initial training of personnel at different sites

2.  Planning Meeting expenses
Including catering and accommodation (no alcoholic beverages) 

3.  Communication between sites for planning
Teleconference charges; long distance charges

4.  Biostatistical consultation
If you think you need biostatistical consultation for design, stats, power analysis etc. we encourage use of these funds for such purposes. There are too many underpowered studies that are of little value to clinical practice. Note: Costs for biostatistical support needed for project development are permissible, but investigator salary support is otherwise not an allowable cost.

5.  Training and start-up expenses within reason and commensurate with a relatively simple protocol.  
Charges for certification on assessments, (e.g., UPDRS; NIHSS)

6.  Student Worker
Help with tasks specifically associated with start-up of collaboration (e.g., creation of standard operating procedure manuals; Case report forms for recording data; photocopying, printing)

7.  IRB/REB ethics application review fees for collaborating sites only
While the PI might have approval (and it is needed for the application), a new site might still need to obtain IRB approval.
