Pilot Study: Specialized Center of Research in
Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy
The University of Pennsylvania NIH-funded SCOR
in Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy will fund up to five pilot projects
on biomedical, epidemiological or behavioral research in basic
science or clinical areas at a level from $20,000 to $60,000/year.
These one-year grants support pilot research projects on all aspects
of hyperbaric oxygen therapy. The purpose is to assist faculty
in obtaining preliminary data to serve as the basis of a grant
application to the NIH or other public or private agencies concerned
with this important medical modality (see the Penn Institute for
Environmental Medicine web site: www.uphs.upenn.edu/ifem/).
A committee will review the proposals and funding depends not only
on scientific merit, but also on the likelihood that the pilots
will lead to independent investigator initiated proposals.
Priority will be given to:
-
faculty
in the early
stages of
their career who seek to enter the area of hyperbaric
oxygen
therapy;
-
senior
faculty who
intend to
shift their research emphasis towards biochemical and
physiological
actions of
oxygen at elevated partial
pressures
and, especially,
therapeutic mechanisms of action
of hyperbaric
oxygen.
Applications should
utilize the NIH PHS 398
form with a limit of 6 pages (exclusive of literature cited). Prior
to submission, and as early as possible, the research protocol
should be submitted to Dr. Phyllis Gimotty (215) 573-5153 or pgimotty@cceb.upenn.edu)
for statistical review. Approved University applications
for human subjects or animals, if applicable, should be completed
and attached. The application submission deadline is February
1, 2004 and questions may be directed to Wendy Kelly at (215)
898-9102, or e-mail wherrman@mail.med.upenn.edu.
