American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant The University of Iowa Health Care Cancer Center has informed us that the American Cancer Society has awarded an Institutional Research Grant to the UI to provide seed grants for junior investigators pursuing projects affiliated with cancer. These projects can be broadly related to the biological, clinical, psychosocial, behavioral or social problems associated with cancer.
Applications are welcome from junior faculty members and independent research scientists.
Applicants must be eligible to apply as principal investigator for grant support from national agencies, but have no competitive grants from a national agency at the time of application. Previous recipients of ACS-IRG seed grant funds are not eligible. Awards will be made through the University of Iowa Cancer Center for a one-year period.
