The Cancer Research Career Development Award is limited to proposals for basic research related to all types of cancer. Relatedness to aplastic anemia and MDS is interpreted in a broad sense, so investigators in other areas such as biochemistry, microbiology, molecular biology, immunology, or other areas will be acceptable if the proposed research is related in a significant way to aplastic anemia, MDS or other bone marrow failure diseases. The A-T Children's Project announces competitive awards for basic research grants related to Ataxia Telangiectasia. All medical schools, hospitals and cancer research centers are invited to nominate candidates for the award. The Fellowship may be renewed for a third year upon submission of a renewal application, based upon current guidelines.
Funding provides training for young investigators who wish to pursue a career in cancer prevention.
Applications that have not been previously reviewed by one or more of these agencies will generally not be considered. Applicants may submit the same application as reviewed by other agencies with a revised budget, the agency' s evaluation, and a paragraph in lay language describing the proposed research. The fund does not provide salary support for the primary researcher, buy equipment, or cover overhead costs. Submit a cover letter detailing present position with institution, education history, project title and objects, other career support and evaluations received from other funds. Applications are limited to those who achieved the equivalent rank of Assistant Professor on or after July 1, 1996.
