Dana-Farber-Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC)
DF/HCC Nodal Award Program 2016
A key goal of DF/HCC is to encourage and support the development of scientific collaborations among Center members that promote new translational cancer research as well as research that addresses issues relevant to the burden of cancer and cancer outcomes in diverse populations. To advance this goal, DF/HCC periodically solicits proposals for pilot projects that are designed to enhance or create new interprogrammatic "nodal point" interactions between members in clinical-based and discipline-based DF/HCC Research Programs. This RFA is specifically targeted to the creation of new collaborations among discipline-based programs between members of a Basic science program (Cancer Cell Biology, Cancer Genetics, or Cancer Immunology programs) and members of a Population science program (Cancer Care Delivery Research, Cancer Epidemiology, Cancer Risk and Disparities, or Cancer Data Sciences). Applicants must be DF/HCC members (Full or Associate). At least one of the collaborators should be a member of a Basic science program (Cancer Cell Biology, Cancer Genetics, or Cancer Immunology). At least one of the collaborators should be a member of a Population science program (Cancer Care Delivery Research, Cancer Epidemiology, Cancer Risk and Disparities, or Cancer Data Sciences). Please contact Deborah Goff with any questions.
Amount: $50,000/ year for 2 years
Deadline: Submit to Deborah Goff on behalf of Peter Howley, MD by March 28, 2016

| Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network (BCAN)
2016 Bladder Cancer Research Innovation Award
The aim of the 2016 Bladder Cancer Research Innovation Award is to support exceptionally novel and creative projects with great potential to produce breakthroughs in the management of bladder cancer. The proposed research may be basic, translational, clinical or epidemiological and must have direct applicability and relevance to bladder cancer. Eligible recipients include applicants who have experience in other areas of cancer or biomedical/health science research with promising ideas and approaches that can be applied to bladder cancer research. Applicants who currently hold an active BCAN Young Investigator Award or BCAN Bladder Cancer Research Innovation Award may not apply. Applicants may submit only one Letter of Intent for a Bladder Cancer Research Innovation Award, and may not apply both for this Award and a BCAN Young Investigator Award.
Amount: $150,000/ year for 2 years
Deadline: LOI; February 25, 2016
The Hope Foundation-The Southwest Oncology Group (SWOG)
The SWOG/Hope Foundation Impact Award
The Impact Award Program is intended to foster novel scientific ideas, agents, targets, and technologies that have the potential to substantially advance the practice of clinical cancer research within the Group. It is expected that support via this mechanism will lead to subsequent extramural support from other sources, and will be a metric of success for this grant awarding program. Any SWOG member investigator eligible for NIH funding is encouraged to submit to this program. Basic Science applicants are required to partner with a clinician as a Co-PI.
Amount: $250,000 over 2 years

Prostate Cancer Research Foundation (PCRF)
2016 Young Investigator Awards
PCRF champions investment in human capital to fast-forward solutions for prostate cancer with the ultimate goal of ending death and suffering from metastatic prostate cancer. Applications are encouraged from early-career basic scientists, medical oncologists, pathologists, urologists, radiologists, radiation oncologists, public health experts, bioinformaticians, bioengineers, or professionals from any other field that could contribute to the end of prostate cancer.

Applicants must hold the title of Postdoctoral Fellow, Instructor, Research Associate, Assistant Professor or equivalent. Applicants must be under the direct supervision of a mentor(s). Applicants should have received no more than $200,000 in current direct research funding from all sources including institutional funds. Applicants who have specifically received young investigator research support from the NIH or DoD are still qualified and very much encouraged to apply.
Amount: $75,000/ year for 3 years
