American Association for Cancer Research (AACR)
Pancreatic Cancer Action Network-AACR Career Development Awards
This award represents a joint effort to encourage and support junior faculty who are in the first five years of a faculty appointment (at the start of the grant term) to conduct pancreatic cancer research and establish successful career paths in this field. The research proposed for funding may be basic, translational, clinical or epidemiological in nature and must have direct applicability and relevance to pancreatic cancer.
Amount: $200,000 over two years
Deadline: October 29, 2013
Terri Brodeur Breast Cancer Foundation
Foundation Grant
This award is intended to support physician scientists at early stages of their research careers to enable them to develop independent careers in breast cancer research. The foundation seeks to fund broadly across all relevant disciplines and as such focus areas can include basic, preclinical and clinical research. Please contact Andrea Hadfield to apply.
Amount: Up to $100,000 over 2 years
Deadline: October 31, 2013
American Society of Hematology (ASH)
Bridge Grant Program Opportunity
ASH has pledged $9 million to a new bridge grant program to help preserve the careers of its talented member scientists whose vital research will not be accomplished due to across-the-board cuts to the NIH budget. Application is open to ASH members who applied for an NIH R01 grant or equivalent but were denied funding due to budget cutbacks.
Amount: $100,000 for 1 year Deadline: November 1, 2013
Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS)
The New Idea Award
This grant program is designed to identify novel research strategies with high potential for high impact on the future of blood cancer treatment(s). Specifically, this program supports academic researchers with innovative ideas for approaches that are substantially different from standard therapies and prognostic/diagnostic modalities, as well as ideas that may fundamentally change our understanding of blood cancer(s). Successful applications will describe potentially paradigm-shifting ideas that take research in a substantially new direction, and thus preliminary data is not required. The goal of this program is to advance novel concepts that may eventually lead to significant improvements in the clinical outcomes, including quality of life, of patients with hematological malignancies.
Amount: $100,000 for 1 year
Deadline: LOI: November 1, 2013
