About Pilot Time

CAMRI is supported by user fees: PIs receive grants or contracts and then pay CAMRI for MR scanner time on a fee for service basis. Grant proposals typically require preliminary data, leading to a dilemma in which existing funding is required to obtain new funding. To encourage new investigators and projects, CAMRI awards discounted pilot time at the sole discretion of the Academic Director. The purpose of the pilot time is to permit the collection of preliminary data for grant applications that will then be used to pay for regularly priced scan time at CAMRI. A brief application is required, consisting of the following:

  1. Applicant name and NIH-format biosketch or full CV
  2. Title of grant that you are preparing and outline, in the form of an NIH-format specific aims page
  3. Funding agency and mechanism for which the grant will be submitted (e.g. NIH R21; URL of RFA if non-NIH)
  4. Applicant's role on grant (PI, co-investigator, consultant, etc.)
  5. The number of scanner hours budgeted in the grant and the duration of the project (if funded)
  6. For the pilot award, number of scanner hours requested in order to collect preliminary data for the grant proposal. Pilot time awards are limited to 20 hours.
