Gelman Foundation anticipates conducting a similiar Seed Grant program in 2009. In preparation for the 2009 program, you can download the 2008 application and detailed instructions below. Gelman Foundation expects the application will be substantially similar next year. While Gelman Foundation has not yet set a deadline for the 2009 program, Gelman Foundation expects it will be at the end of January, 2009. This year\'s grant applications will be evaluated by our Medical Advisory Board using a study section process, in which applications with similar goals are compared to and rated against each other and against proposals from previous years using an NIH-like systematic review template. Elements of the template include: 1. Significance: How will this work lead to improved outcomes for patients with breast cancer? 2. Approach: Are the methods proposed reasonable and likely to be fruitful? 3. Innovation: How is this work new, how likely is it to open up new opportunities for future work? 4. Investigators: Is the applicant qualified to perform the work? 5. Environment: Does the applicant have the resources available to succeed? 6. Multiplier effect: How likely are the results from this project to attract further funding from other sources?
