How does Komen define a R01 type award?
RO1 type awards are defined by Komen as independent research awards made to an investigator as the PI or Co-PI. The intent of the Career Catalyst Award is to provide unique opportunities for junior scientists in the early stages of their career to achieve research independence. In light of the objective of this RFA, if an investigator has received an independent research grant as a PI or Co-PI, similar to NIH’s R01 award, they are not considered to meet the eligibility requirements of the Career Catalyst Research RFA. Research grants exceeding $100,000 total are considered independent awards because they provide the opportunity for an investigator to establish research independence. Applicants must provide a complete list of existing and pending research support, including funding amounts, with their application.
