Can I change institutions during the course of the award?
The award is portable. Most awardees will change institutions to begin a faculty appointment. However, transferring your award is not guaranteed. The institution that you wish to transfer to must demonstrate a commitment to you by offering you a tenure track or equivalent faculty appointment and significant start-up money. In addition, BWF must approve the transfer. Transfers during the faculty portion of the award are discouraged.
May I interrupt the award because of family commitments or to complete clinical or other training?
Yes. BWF will allow you a no-cost extension up to two years during the term of the award.
Are awardees permitted to have other simultaneous funding, for example, from the National Institutes of Health or another foundation?
Award recipients may obtain funds from other sources for research in the same or similar areas as that conducted under these grants, so long as there is no conflict with meeting the terms of BWF’s award. Award recipients may not hold concurrent BWF awards or NIH K99/R00 awards.
When would the funding cycle begin for the CAMS award?
September 1, 2014 and payable over a minimum of five years.
