2024 YCCI Scholar Awards and YPSD Awards Applicant Information Webinar

Transcript

• 00:00This program in
• 00:06is Doctor Lloyd Cantley,
• 00:08who's a professor of medicine,
• 00:11a nephrologist, and he's also a professor
• 00:14of cellular and molecular Physiology.
• 00:16Jen Edelman, who's a professor
• 00:19of medicine and general medicine and
• 00:22associate professor of public health,
• 00:24social and behavioral sciences.
• 00:27She's an expert in addiction medicine
• 00:32and in implementation science. And me.
• 00:37And I'm a professor of Pediatrics,
• 00:43ID and of epidemiology and deputy director
• 00:46of the Investigative Medicine program.
• 00:49And then Christine,
• 00:51who's a project manager for
• 00:54education and training and helps us,
• 00:57helps everything run properly.
• 01:07And so my name is Nicholas Licht.
• 01:08I work in the Office of Physician
• 01:10Science and Scientist Development.
• 01:12We are made-up of a small team,
• 01:14which includes our Associate Dean
• 01:16for Physician Scientist Development,
• 01:17Keith Choate. Nii Addy,
• 01:19who's the Director of Scientist
• 01:20Diversity and Inclusion, Valerie Reinke,
• 01:22who's the Director of PhD Scientists
• 01:24Development and Gene Shapiro,
• 01:26who's the Director of Grant
• 01:28Writing and Evaluation.
• 01:30Next slide.
• 01:35So these are grants for junior faculty
• 01:38who are strongly committed to research
• 01:41careers across the full span of basic,
• 01:43clinical, translational, and community-based
• 01:46research focused on human health provides
• 01:50up to 75% salary up to 120 K per year.
• 01:55That includes fringe.
• 01:57So it's you know more like 90,000 of of
• 02:01salary plus 25,000 per year for research
• 02:06related expenses for for two years.
• 02:12The app I thought I'd change
• 02:16this maybe I did change it but
• 02:18maybe you didn't get it anyway.
• 02:20The exception is surgeons.
• 02:24It it's only have to commit 50%
• 02:30applicants who are not eligible for
• 02:32salary support because they're have
• 02:34they have their own K or start up funds
• 02:36may apply for research support of 25K
• 02:39per year for two years separately.
• 02:44The awards are funded by the National
• 02:49Center for Advancing Translational
• 02:51Sciences as and it's linked to the CTSA,
• 02:55the clinical and
• 02:57translational science awards.
• 02:59It's it's it's designated a KL2
• 03:03for the because it's linked to
• 03:06the CTSA but it's really a K12.
• 03:08And then the next round of during our
• 03:11competitive renewal they're changing the
• 03:13name back to a K12 or was never a K12,
• 03:16they're changing it to a K12.
• 03:18But it's also substantially supported
• 03:20by institutional funds from the
• 03:23Dean and administered through YCCI.
• 03:28Scholars will participate in year
• 03:31round educational activities,
• 03:32events including an orientation,
• 03:35Bi-weekly research and progress
• 03:37seminars except over the summer.
• 03:39Robert Sherwin All Scholars
• 03:42Day we have we we have other events.
• 03:47We jointly meet with Rockefeller
• 03:50University every other year,
• 03:52every year,
• 03:52either alternating between their place
• 03:55and our place for a day of research,
• 04:01presentations and interaction.
• 04:05And we have some other kind of
• 04:08internal programs that we do next.
• 04:14So the Yale Position
• 04:16Scientist Development Awards
• 04:17are very similar to the YCCI Scholar
• 04:19Awards from a support perspective where
• 04:21in fact 'cause you're getting $120,000
• 04:23for salary support including fringe,
• 04:26they get research support for
• 04:27individuals who already have a
• 04:29career award or large start-up funds.
• 04:31They can apply just for the research support.
• 04:34I think the biggest difference is that
• 04:36our funding goes to physician-scientists.
• 04:39So our awards are all limited to MDs
• 04:41and MD or MD/PhDs that are practicing.
• 04:44But I mean it is open,
• 04:46you know from their perspective they
• 04:48are awards can go to individuals
• 04:50that are doing basic translational,
• 04:51clinical or community-based research.
• 04:54The funding for us is provided
• 04:56by the School of Medicine and is
• 04:58administered by the Office of Physician
• 05:00Scientist and Scientist Development.
• 05:02You know the eligibility requirements
• 05:04and application process and salaries
• 05:05all the same as the YCCI stellar award.
• 05:08Individuals who are interested in a Yale
• 05:10Physician Scientist Development Award,
• 05:13you know apply through the same
• 05:15funding mechanism And then during
• 05:16the review process at the end you
• 05:19know the program between YCCI and
• 05:22OPSSD we review and then decide
• 05:25who each program is going to fund.
• 05:27You know physician science development
• 05:30awardees are still also considered
• 05:32YCCI scholars and also participate in
• 05:34all of the YCCI scholar activities.
• 05:37The real difference is where the
• 05:39funding is coming from and then our
• 05:41awards are limited to physician-scientists.
• 05:43Next slide.
• 05:46So eligibility
• 05:51you have to have at the time of the award,
• 05:54not necessarily while you're applying.
• 05:57You have to have a full
• 05:59time faculty appointment.
• 05:59Being Assistant Professor, Instructor,
• 06:02Associate Research Scientist,
• 06:04or Research Scientist,
• 06:05You could not have been a you.
• 06:07You can't have been a faculty
• 06:09member for five years or more at the
• 06:13earliest anticipated start date,
• 06:15which would be July 1, 2024.
• 06:19That includes time on faculty elsewhere.
• 06:21Somebody was at Harvard for
• 06:23three years and then came here.
• 06:24That time counts.
• 06:27You have not previously
• 06:30received YCCI Scholar Award,
• 06:34YPSD Award,
• 06:35a K12 or a K99/R00,
• 06:38at at least if you're
• 06:42if you're applying for
• 06:45the full package,
• 06:47not just the research component.
• 06:51And you have not been a PI on any
• 06:54research grant that provides $200K
• 06:57plus or more per year in direct costs.
• 07:01Except for an NIH
• 07:03Career Development Awards.
• 07:04I nobody it says NIH R03 grants
• 07:08but I meant to take that off
• 07:11because you can't they those grants
• 07:13by definition are for less money
• 07:15than that applicants who already
• 07:17have a career development award
• 07:19or or PI on a grant of more than
• 07:23$200K a year or or the same.
• 07:27As I said you're not eligible for
• 07:30salary but and and those who have
• 07:32substantial start-up funds also may
• 07:34not be eligible for salary support.
• 07:37This will be determined at
• 07:38the time of the award.
• 07:39These those folks can still
• 07:41apply for research support only,
• 07:43provided they have two more years
• 07:45at least of that kind of coverage.
• 07:48And just to be clear,
• 07:52the YCCI Scholars Awards are for
• 07:55MDs or PhDs, the YPSD Awards,
• 08:00you have to be an MD and
• 08:04it's not just MD you have to be
• 08:06able to practice
• 08:09medicine in the US
• 08:17or for the YPSD award where there are
• 08:21some areas that we're particularly want
• 08:24to promote and encourage people to apply
• 08:27diversity in translational research
• 08:30both the in the applicant particularly
• 08:33and in the research you're doing.
• 08:37So that's Health Equity research and we're
• 08:42very interested in community-engaged
• 08:45research and in implementation science.
• 08:48But that doesn't mean we're not
• 08:49interested in the other things,
• 08:51but we're we particularly want
• 08:55people that are doing good work
• 08:58in these areas to apply
• 09:02next, OK. So now we're going to
• 09:07talk about the application process.
• 09:08So as you know, we released the
• 09:11RFA an application last month.
• 09:14This month we're holding this
• 09:16webinar to give you additional
• 09:18information and answer your questions.
• 09:20The letters of intent are due Friday,
• 09:23January 5th and we'll talk
• 09:26about that a little bit more.
• 09:29I'll also be doing the
• 09:31internal review in January,
• 09:34February or when our applications
• 09:36are due that's February 9th 5.
• 09:39PM. I also do the internal review of
• 09:42those so that in March we can have our
• 09:46expert faculty review applications.
• 09:49We have our review meeting in April.
• 09:52They will do our just-in-time requests,
• 09:56our JIT requests so that we can
• 10:00send out notifications in June.
• 10:02And then as we mentioned earlier, July,
• 10:07July 1 is the earliest start date.
• 10:10And we say that because we may have
• 10:14other later start dates depending
• 10:15on when we have slots available.
• 10:18But July is also when our programming
• 10:20starts for all of our scholars.
• 10:27All right, so let's talk about the
• 10:29letter of intent, which is due as due.
• 10:32As I mentioned on January 5th.
• 10:35It is required, but it's not binding.
• 10:38So if you submit your letter of
• 10:41intent and decide after January 5th
• 10:44you don't want to move forward with
• 10:47a full application, that is fine.
• 10:51It is not considered as
• 10:54part of the review process.
• 10:56So again, that's part of the
• 10:59reason why it's not binding.
• 11:01Once you submit your full application,
• 11:03that's all we look at.
• 11:05As far as the review process goes,
• 11:09two of the reasons why we do the
• 11:12letter of intent is it gives us the
• 11:14opportunity to review your basic materials
• 11:17and confirm that you're eligible.
• 11:19As Gene mentioned,
• 11:21we have some eligibility requirements,
• 11:23so we want to make sure that everyone's
• 11:27eligible before you go through
• 11:29and do the complete application.
• 11:31And then it also gives us an idea
• 11:34of the scope of the application so
• 11:37that we can plan the review so that
• 11:39we can make sure we have reviewers
• 11:41with the appropriate expertise
• 11:43to review the applications.
• 11:47Now the letter of intent you submit
• 11:50through an online submission form which
• 11:53is listed on our web page consists
• 11:56of completing the form questions,
• 11:59uploading a half-page abstract so it's
• 12:02just a half page, and then uploading
• 12:06your NIH non-fellowship biosketch.
• 12:09And I put in the revision because I want you
• 12:12to make sure that you use the right revision,
• 12:16so it's the October 2021 version and
• 12:20then the other support document again,
• 12:22which is the revision for October 2021.
• 12:27And those documents you'll
• 12:30upload in a PDF format.
• 12:34And I say we have a question in the chat,
• 12:36will we receive feedback of the
• 12:39LOI regarding eligibility before
• 12:41the full application is due?
• 12:43Yes, that is the goal.
• 12:45However,
• 12:45you don't need to wait to hear back
• 12:49about the LOI to complete or start
• 12:52working on your full application.
• 12:56All right. And another question we
• 12:58have Will excuse me. Sorry, go ahead.
• 13:01You know, I think probably the person who's
• 13:03more worried about wasting time doing
• 13:05the application if they're not eligible.
• 13:07So there aren't. There aren't.
• 13:10The eligibility rules are pretty
• 13:12clear and they're spelled out.
• 13:13It's just double-checking that.
• 13:15So. So if you're one thing
• 13:18that would speed it up is,
• 13:20you know, if there's a question,
• 13:22oh, I was, you know, I was,
• 13:23I had this position at University
• 13:25of North Carolina for two
• 13:26years and they call it faculty.
• 13:28But I was really a more or less a fellow.
• 13:31Can I still be eligible,
• 13:33contact us in advance and talk to
• 13:35us and we can probably sort it out.
• 13:38Otherwise,
• 13:38there there aren't any hidden
• 13:41eligibility issues that that
• 13:42you're not seeing here.
• 13:45Correct. And I will mention that I've
• 13:48made some edits to our letter of intent
• 13:52this year to hopefully pull out that
• 13:55information so that it's more obvious
• 13:58as you're going through that if you do
• 14:01have more than five years of faculty,
• 14:03you'll realize that as you're
• 14:05filling out the letter of intent.
• 14:08OK. So yes, I
• 14:11was gonna say one thing.
• 14:12I mean with the the, the abstract,
• 14:14right, the abstract's not
• 14:16reviewed for eligibility, right.
• 14:17Nobody, we're not checking to see if
• 14:19correct project is technically eligible.
• 14:21You know as long as it
• 14:23falls up in our categories,
• 14:24it's really about is the applicant
• 14:26eligible from a timing perspective
• 14:27and a faculty appointment perspective
• 14:30and the and you know if you have
• 14:33$1,000,000 RO1, we're going to
• 14:35tell you you're not eligible. But
• 14:43so there's another question about
• 14:46those who are applying for a faculty
• 14:49position at Yale, a current postdoc.
• 14:52How will this be impacted timeline of
• 14:55hearing back regarding funding, if at all?
• 14:57Well, as we said,
• 14:59you have to have a faculty appointment
• 15:02if you're going to get funded,
• 15:03but usually they'll be able to.
• 15:05For example,
• 15:05they can make you an instructor if,
• 15:08but if you're if you get funded
• 15:15but which is which is fine.
• 15:20The problem is that a lot of you
• 15:23also need a letter of commitment
• 15:26from the chair of the department
• 15:29stating that they're going to make
• 15:31you a faculty member and you know
• 15:34it's strongest it it's a little.
• 15:37I always thought it was stupid but
• 15:39a lot of the reviewers want to see
• 15:42see somebody say well this person's
• 15:44so great that we're gonna commit
• 15:47to making them a ladder faculty
• 15:49whether or not they get the grant.
• 15:51Even though we all know that getting
• 15:55funding is crucial as some or somebody
• 15:58very early on but you should
• 16:01be able to be it it it shouldn't
• 16:04affect your ability to get the grant.
• 16:10Yes an instructor an instructor
• 16:13is a faculty position.
• 16:15You can be an instructor.
• 16:17You can even be an associate
• 16:19research scientist.
• 16:19But an instructor is a faculty position.
• 16:23Assistant professor is ladder faculty.
• 16:27That's there was a question in the Yep,
• 16:33if you are, if you'll be faculty
• 16:36for exactly five years on,
• 16:39well, you're not eligible.
• 16:42If if it's if, if five.
• 16:47So somebody asked if if they're eligible if
• 16:53they're exactly five years on 712124. If.
• 16:57If 7/1/24 is your fifth year, that's OK.
• 17:02If it's if it's your 6th year,
• 17:05you know, usually the the
• 17:06appointment ends on June 30th.
• 17:08So if if you complete four years on June
• 17:1230th and your fifth year is 7/1/24,
• 17:15you're OK, you're not more than five years.
• 17:18Hopefully that answers your question.
• 17:28So then we have another question.
• 17:29When are nominations due?
• 17:33Are they due at the same time as
• 17:35the letter of intent deadline?
• 17:37So for the letter of intent,
• 17:39you're just going to list
• 17:41who your nominator is.
• 17:43You're not gonna submit
• 17:44the nomination letter.
• 17:48So hopefully that answers your
• 17:50question. OK, great. All right,
• 17:54All right, I'm gonna move on.
• 17:59So then regarding the full
• 18:01application which is going to be due
• 18:04on Friday February 9th at 5:00 PM,
• 18:07the 2024 application Word
• 18:09document is posted online.
• 18:11You will use that as your.
• 18:18Make sure you follow the instructions
• 18:20listed in the application.
• 18:22So a couple of things I want to point out.
• 18:24If you are resubmitting your
• 18:27application that you submitted last
• 18:29year or maybe the year before,
• 18:32you need to make sure to submit a one-page
• 18:35introduction addressing the feedback
• 18:37from your previous application.
• 18:40There's also a note and a link
• 18:44regarding page limits and using
• 18:47NIH format for fonts and margins.
• 18:50I should say the link is related
• 18:53to the NIH format.
• 18:56Also, be mindful of which sections need
• 18:58to be completed by your business office.
• 19:01And you're going to want to work
• 19:03with your business office soon to
• 19:06get your other support document
• 19:09up to date because you're going
• 19:11to submit that with your LOI.
• 19:13But they're also going to work
• 19:15on your current support document
• 19:17and your budget forms.
• 19:19And as I as I mentioned previously,
• 19:23make sure you use the correct
• 19:25version of the bio
• 19:26sketch and other support documents,
• 19:31OK? And then again, once you
• 19:35have filled out your application
• 19:37document and your other forms,
• 19:39you're gonna submit it online,
• 19:41There are some form questions to submit,
• 19:44and then you're gonna upload
• 19:46your application package,
• 19:49preferably using your last name,
• 19:52your first name,
• 19:53and the application as a full PDF,
• 19:56and then separately,
• 19:58your initial faculty appointment letter.
• 20:01Obviously, if you're currently a
• 20:02post-doc and you don't have your
• 20:05initial faculty appointment letter,
• 20:06you won't upload that 'cause
• 20:08you don't have it yet.
• 20:10And then at the end of the online
• 20:15submission form, there are some
• 20:18CTSA-related reporting questions.
• 20:20They're mostly demographic,
• 20:22so nothing to worry about there.
• 20:25I did want to talk about a couple
• 20:27of recently asked questions that
• 20:29I've gotten regarding nominations.
• 20:31So it doesn't have to be
• 20:33your department chief.
• 20:35It can most certainly be your mentor.
• 20:38It just cannot be yourself.
• 20:41We've had a couple of people in the past
• 20:44nominate themselves and you wouldn't
• 20:46write a letter of support for yourself.
• 20:48Your whole application is you're
• 20:52basically your nomination,
• 20:53so it can be your mentor,
• 20:56your department chair or
• 20:57section chief as appropriate.
• 21:00So then regarding start-up funds,
• 21:02we've had a couple of questions about this.
• 21:06So because start substantial,
• 21:08start-up funds may make you ineligible
• 21:11for salary support and we will not
• 21:15determine that until the time of award
• 21:17apply for both salary and research
• 21:21support because we don't know what
• 21:23that number is going to be yet.
• 21:26And then for anyone who's a non-
• 21:28citizen or non-permanent resident
• 21:31you may use any start-up funds you
• 21:34have towards the 50% matching funds.
• 21:41OK what do you. I'm sorry,
• 21:43what did you say about
• 21:45the, we didn't know what the amount.
• 21:51So I've gotten a couple of questions
• 21:53regarding what does substantial
• 21:54start at bounds mean if it's so
• 22:02well we talked about
• 22:08more than $200,000 per year.
• 22:12It's a little, this is still something we're
• 22:16trying to knockout very clearly but if you
• 22:19you know I I would say if you have less,
• 22:23less than 400,000 you're probably OK.
• 22:30If it's more than that then you should apply.
• 22:34But, but we do have a pretty clear rule of
• 22:38$200,000 per year or two years on a grant
• 22:42more than that would make you ineligible.
• 22:45And so if you have more than
• 22:49substantially more than that it could
• 22:51be a problem in terms of eligibility.
• 22:55But you know it it gets complicated because
• 22:59sometimes the the chairs will include
• 23:06salary a lot, a substantial salary support.
• 23:08That's the only we'll give you $1,000,000.
• 23:11But but half of that is you know 2/3 of
• 23:14that is paying for your salary already which
• 23:17is really not exactly a start-up package.
• 23:20So that's why there's some gray areas or
• 23:23part of one of the reasons why because
• 23:26because it's not money that you can use,
• 23:32right. So what I'm basically saying is,
• 23:36if in doubt, apply for salary
• 23:38and research support and we'll
• 23:39figure it out on the back end.
• 23:46OK, so I put together kind of some do's and
• 23:51don'ts based on what I've seen in the past.
• 23:55Do make sure your mentor or
• 23:58mentors review your application.
• 24:00You want to put your best foot forward
• 24:02or your best application forward.
• 24:04In this case, also make sure your application
• 24:06is free of spelling and grammar errors.
• 24:09Again, having your mentor review
• 24:12your application will help
• 24:15identify those things for you.
• 24:16It's really difficult to
• 24:19proofread your own work.
• 24:21Make sure you write out acronyms,
• 24:23especially the first time you use them.
• 24:26Or better yet, as Gene would say,
• 24:28don't use them at all.
• 24:30Right Gene?
• 24:31Absolutely
• 24:33better. They're they're not
• 24:34your friend, They're your enemy.
• 24:39For your budget forms, make sure your budget
• 24:44OK. I should have added that to the to
• 24:48the list regarding your budget forms,
• 24:51make sure your budgets add up correctly.
• 24:55This makes my job easier when I'm
• 24:57reviewing applications during
• 24:59the internal review process.
• 25:03And then make sure you review
• 25:05the RFA and instructions before
• 25:06you submit your application.
• 25:08Just do one final pass, all right,
• 25:12and then don't don't forget to
• 25:15include a letter of support for
• 25:17each mentor and collaborator.
• 25:20So as part of my internal review,
• 25:22when I get the full applications,
• 25:25I check to make sure that there
• 25:27is a letter of support from
• 25:29every mentor and collaborator.
• 25:30So make sure you give me all of
• 25:34those so I'm not going back to you
• 25:37and and looking for these things.
• 25:39The same is true for bio sketches.
• 25:42So for every mentor, every collaborator,
• 25:44you have a letter of support
• 25:46and a bio sketch.
• 25:47Make sure you
• 25:48like bio sketch, not the not
• 25:50the fellowship bio sketch.
• 25:52Right the non-fellowship biosketch.
• 25:57And then finally,
• 25:58you don't include any extra letters
• 26:00of support or bio sketches from others.
• 26:03It just makes your application
• 26:06overly large and it's not needed.
• 26:10And I'd rather not have to
• 26:13strip them out. OK,
• 26:17so let's. We've got the
• 26:20application. Yeah, go ahead. You
• 26:23want me to go through
• 26:24this or do you want to do
• 26:25it? No, you can do it.
• 26:28So the review process is there's
• 26:31a pretty large study section
• 26:33and by the way the YPSD and the
• 26:37YCCI awards are reviewed together.
• 26:41There's not a separate review process.
• 26:43And the review process is basically
• 26:48similar to the NIH review process.
• 26:51There's a large study section.
• 26:53Your grant will be reviewed by three people,
• 26:57but everybody on the study section will vote.
• 26:59Usually once in a while two,
• 27:01but usually three.
• 27:02Everybody will vote on it.
• 27:04It'll get you know the
• 27:08and the criteria are gonna be the applicants,
• 27:16training and productivity.
• 27:20So far, the career development plan
• 27:24that you propose in Mentoring plan,
• 27:27it's a career development award.
• 27:29So although it's easy sometimes easier
• 27:33to talk about the research component,
• 27:36in theory the research component is
• 27:381/4 or 1/3 of the score you get.
• 27:43Because the idea is it's mentored research
• 27:46that's going to help develop your career,
• 27:48the quality of your mentors,
• 27:50the research plan including innovation,
• 27:52significance and approach,
• 27:54the environment and departmental commitment.
• 27:58And then, of course, areas of special
• 28:01emphasis which won't go into the I I
• 28:05doesn't go directly into the scoring.
• 28:08But if somebody if two people are
• 28:11the the proposals are ranked very close
• 28:14to each other and and they're on the
• 28:18cusp and somebody is meets the
• 28:21criteria for some of these areas that
• 28:24we're particularly interested in funding
• 28:26it may boost you up a little higher.
• 28:30You will be notified by your decisions in
• 28:32June the earliest start date is July 1.
• 28:35However
• 28:38some of it's going to depend
• 28:40on what slots are available.
• 28:41For example, we've had people that
• 28:44start in January or even in March and
• 28:47so those slots aren't going to be aren't
• 28:49going to open up until January or March
• 28:52whereas others will be available in July.
• 28:54I think, Nick, yours are all July are
• 28:58all gonna start in July, is that correct?
• 29:02Yes. Ours all start in July. Yeah.
• 29:04So the but, so, so and we juggle around
• 29:08to try to optimize everything for people.
• 29:12You know, we would talk to you and say and
• 29:14if somebody really needs to start in July,
• 29:17we'll do our best to do that. Occasionally,
• 29:19we can't.
• 29:20Some people have funding that's good
• 29:23that's pretty secure until January or
• 29:25March and those people we may ask.
• 29:29It still goes for the full two
• 29:31years whenever you start.
• 29:32Just to be clear,
• 29:33it doesn't shorten the duration of award.
• 29:35It's just when you start
• 29:41and I think that's it.
• 29:43We have other questions.
• 29:45The last piece is that all
• 29:47applicants will receive anonymized
• 29:49review and feedback. Sorry
• 29:50about that. Yeah, yeah, eventually.
• 29:55OK, so we have a couple of questions here.
• 29:58Do all mentors need to be in Yale faculty?
• 30:01No, they don't all need to be Yale faculty.
• 30:04But if they're not at Yale,
• 30:06you need to justify why.
• 30:08And you know, in general, it's a good idea
• 30:11to have a primary mentor at least at Yale
• 30:18people people are likely to
• 30:19question how close you're going
• 30:21to be able to work with that
• 30:22person if they're farther away.
• 30:24But you know, on the other
• 30:26hand, if there's somebody who's a
• 30:29particular expert or can provide
• 30:31something that you really need,
• 30:33having that person as a co-mentor is fine.
• 30:36But then spell out I'm going to
• 30:38meet with this person twice a
• 30:41month on Zoom and all the
• 30:43mentors are going to meet every
• 30:46three months together or whatever.
• 30:47It's going to be
• 30:51OK. I have another
• 30:54chat that was come that came directly to me,
• 30:59but I think it will be helpful
• 31:01for everyone to hear the answer.
• 31:03The question says so Chair chief nominations
• 31:08are due in February, not January.
• 31:11Everything for the LOI in January.
• 31:13It can be done by the applicant.
• 31:15So I'm just gonna go back to the LOI.
• 31:20So you will need the name of
• 31:24your nominator and your endorse
• 31:27whoever is gonna endorse your
• 31:29nomination for the letter of intent.
• 31:31Just the names, not the letters of support.
• 31:35However, you will need to work
• 31:38with your business office for
• 31:40the other support document.
• 31:42So that piece you do need
• 31:43to work with somebody.
• 31:45It used to be that you would submit
• 31:47your own other support document.
• 31:49One of the problems we sometimes got
• 31:51into is people would submit their
• 31:54other support and that they wrote up
• 31:56themselves and it would be incorrect.
• 31:58Now the NIH requires, and Yale.
• 32:01The Yale policy is that the
• 32:03other support documents are all
• 32:05done by the business office.
• 32:07So contact your business office
• 32:09early and have them prepare your
• 32:11other support document and they
• 32:13have to sign off on it as well.
• 32:16Yes.
• 32:19OK. Another question,
• 32:20if we conduct our study off-site
• 32:23that is in a clinic in the community,
• 32:26would we need a letter of support
• 32:28from them? Yes, sounds
• 32:32like they'd be a collaborator. Yeah.
• 32:34I mean you just, I mean it's not,
• 32:36it's not complicated.
• 32:37You just say yes we're you
• 32:40know but yeah we need to it.
• 32:43It's a simple reason.
• 32:44You know I I could say oh I'm gonna
• 32:47you know McDonald's is gonna let me
• 32:49set up shop and there McDonald's there
• 32:52and I could write that in my grant
• 32:55but they might not let me really.
• 32:57So we just need to see documentation
• 33:00from an appropriate administrative
• 33:03source that you're that
• 33:06what you say is, is accurate.
• 33:11Now why don't you people who
• 33:13have questions address it to
• 33:15everybody in the chat if you can,
• 33:17so we all can see it and it's OK
• 33:21Can they can they speak up or not
• 33:23or not really? Yeah, sure.
• 33:25Yeah, just just unmute yourself and talk.
• 33:27We actually sometimes communicate that way.
• 33:38No other questions.
• 33:42OK And you can always shoot,
• 33:44shoot us questions directly by e-mail.
• 33:50Yep. And I listed my e-mail here
• 33:54YCCI funding opportunities at Yale.
• 33:57Do we have another question in the chat?
• 33:59No. Just to thank you.
• 34:00Well, thank you all for attending.
• 34:04Take care. I'll also post this
• 34:08recording on our web page for
• 34:11anyone who couldn't make it.
