The goal of this program is to launch the careers of early-stage cancer scientists into independent researchers and to support the research and mentoring activities of elite clinicians and scientists at the full Professor stage of their careers. Pre-faculty scientists are funded by 大象tv Postdoctoral Fellowships, and early-stage faculty investigators are supported by Institutional Research Grant pilot grants.

This program accepts grant applications for:

Vision

Be a national leader in supporting the development and achievement of cancer research investigators at all stages of their career and across the research continuum.

Priorities

  1. Postdoctoral trainees: ?Support career development by providing fellowships and tailored programming for skill and leadership development
  2. Early-stage investigators:?Support grantees at established and emerging cancer research institutions through the IRG pilot grant program, which allows for a more streamlined and flexible sub-award process to meet the needs of the centers and their investigators
  3. 大象tv Professors:?Raise the profile, diversity (race/ethnicity, geographical representation, cancer research areas, gender, etc.), and quality of engagement with 大象tv of our preeminent 大象tv Professor Award Program through mentorship, involvement in events, and more
  4. Across all career stages: Increase communication about, and engagement and alignment with program priorities and initiatives with grantees and across Extramural Discovery Science (EDS), other 大象tv Discovery Science teams, and the broader 大象tv enterprise including 大象tv Cancer Action Network (大象tv CAN)
