Looking for an opportunity to strengthen your previous grant submission and resubmit?

The DE CTR ACCEL Program will be releasing a Shovel-Ready (ShoRe) Grants RFP in January 2025!

GOALS AND BACKGROUND

In today’s highly competitive climate, many investigators submit strong proposals and receive good scores, yet are not funded. To help such investigators transition their good proposals into fundable ones, the ACCEL Program has created the Shovel-Ready (ShoRe) Grants Program. ShoRe grants are for Principal Investigators (PIs) who already have submitted a research grant application (NIH, PCORI, VA, NSF, etc.) and have received reviews but need funds to collect additional data to strengthen their resubmission and address reviewers’ concerns. ShoRe grants must be related to clinical and translational research.

The total budget for the originally submitted proposal must be at least $200,000 (for a regular ShoRe budget of $20,000) or at least $100,000 (for a half-scale ShoRe budget of $10,000). Smaller-scale projects are not supported through this mechanism. Reviews of the original application must have already been received and are to be included in the ShoRe application materials.
