Please read the Corrona Research Foundation (CRF) Publications, Presentations and Ancillary Study Proposals Guidelines before completing this proposal.
A First Step to submitting a proposal is a brief, 2 paragraph, submission that describes the hypothesis, proposal and key data elements needed. The CRF will then check with Corrona, LLC to determine if there is any overlap or conflict with their current or planned activities and priorities. If there are no conflicts, then the submitter will be notified of an approval for a Full Submission to be considered and numerically rated by the Clinical Investigators Committee (see below description).
1. Brief two paragraph submission to the BOD which will then determine both the
feasibility of the project for the use of Corrona data, and if there is any overlap
with LLC priorities that would DQ the effort.
2. If no issues are identified in 1, then approval is given for submission to the
Clinical Investigators Committee to include 2 pages; below and next slide:
Definition(s) of hypotheses and research theme(s) along with data
elements required to address the research topic. Abstracts and
manuscript development should include targeted meetings and journals.
Description of skeletal Table and Figure elements to be produced by the
CRF along with suggested methodological research approach
Proposed timelines for completion of project once data elements are
received by the submitter(s). Projected timelines for submission to either
the ACR, or EULAR annual meetings are required.
Methods section: proposal to define anticipated support needed from CRF
biostat professionals.
Description of impact, relevance and perspective of how the proposed
project expands upon existing knowledge along with any proposed
collaboration(s) with senior/junior investigators from the Clinical
Investigators Committee, or the PI’s institution.
(This submission occurs only after approval of the short 2 paragraph LOI to the BOD to
approve this “proposal” step.)
Hypothesis to be addressed
Methodology (examples of content of tables and figures and
time period to be covered; possible statistical/epi approach;
accepted proposals can work with Dr Reed to refine
methodology.)
Description of novel insights with relevance, academic value
and potential impact, including published references to
provide additional context from the existing literature.
Focus on how the proposal differs and adds additional
relevance and value from what has been published previously.
What makes this proposal compelling?
Projects to identify preliminary data for a peer-reviewed grant
to the PI and proposer’s institution are acceptable.
