Letter of Intent and Application Deadlines

Applications and Letters of Intent (LOI) for all CBCRP awards, except the CRC pre-application research plan and the Community-Led Conference Award letter of intent, must be submitted online through SmartSimple. Registration is required to access SmartSimple. Registration instructions are available in the "How to Apply" section of the Application Process page.

CBCRP investigator-initiated awards are offered on an annual basis, although this is the final year that the Translational Research Award will be offered and the Full Community Research Collaboration Award will be offered this year and then every other year. Program initiatives awards are one-time funding opportunities. The submission deadlines are listed in the table below.

The IDEA and Translational Research Awards require an LOI and a subsequent invitation from the CBCRP to submit a full application. IDEA and Translational Research Award LOI forms and Standard Conference Award application materials will be available in SmartSimple on September 1, 2023. CRC award application materials will be available on December 1, 2023. Templates for IDEA and Translational Research LOIs, CRC pre-application research plans and Community-Led Conference Award LOIs are available now on the CBCRP website.

* The pre-application research plan is optional, and appropriate for applicants who would like to receive feedback on their research plan prior to a full submission.
