At a SCORE-eligible institution, which faculty members are eligible to apply for SCORE SC research awards?
A. Only full-time individuals on regular faculty appointments may apply for SCORE SC awards if they are seeking to develop their research competitiveness and eventually transition to non-SCORE support. Research instructors, research assistant professors, research scientists, postdoctoral fellows, etc., are not eligible to apply for SCORE individual awards, as well as individuals who are considered to be fully developed as demonstrated by their record of publications and external support (see next question). In addition, PIs who currently have support from a K or any other career development award are ineligible to apply for SCORE as well as PIs who are receiving developmental support of over $75,000 per year from major institutional awards such as RCMI, INBRE, COBRE, RIMI and other Center or Program Project grants. PIs receiving equal or less than $75,000 per year of support from other federal grants may only apply for or receive SC3 awards.
