How does Komen define an R01-type grant?
R01 type grants are defined by Komen as independent research grants made to an investigator as the PI or Co-PI. The intent of the Career Catalyst Research grant is to provide unique opportunities for early-career faculty scientists in the early stages of their careers 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, they are not considered to meet the eligibility requirements of the Career Catalyst Research RFA. Research grants exceeding $100,000 total are considered independent grants 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.
