Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC)
Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE)
The Neuro-Oncology Program at DF/HCC is seeking applications for DRP projects focused on adult or pediatric gliomas. Applicants must be faculty members of Harvard Medical School or the Harvard School of Public Health at the level of Instructor or higher. While the proposed research may be basic or clinical, bench-to-bedside or bedside-to-bench strategies must be addressed in the application, as the ultimate purpose of the program is to promote translational research in gliomas. Applicant's departmental chair must agree to provide matching funds in the amount of $25,000 direct costs. Minority and women applicants are strongly encouraged to apply.

Claudia Adams Barr Program in Cancer Research
Innovative Basic Science Research Program
The primary intent of the Claudia Adams Barr Program is to provide funding to DFCI investigators for the development of innovative basic research projects that have not yet received any external peer-reviewed grant support from NIH or similar sources. Established DFCI junior and senior investigators are encouraged to apply. Senior postdoctoral fellows who are within 1-2 years of independence and are conducting independent research on a project that has not achieved external funding may also apply. Only one application for a Barr Award per lab may be submitted for consideration. Labs with existing Barr Awardees are eligible to apply for non-concurrent support: applications may be submitted for review and will either be deferred to the next round or, if awarded, will receive funding when the prior award is closed. Applicants who are not eligible for Barr Program funding include Scientist-track investigators and investigators below the level of independent Assistant Professor, who currently receive Career Development Awards, such as K awards. Awards are not available to investigators who already receive substantial funding from the Institute. No previous Barr investigator shall be allowed to have a subsequent Barr Award unless there is clear and compelling justification for moving into a new and different area of research that has not yet been supported by external grant funding.
Amount: Up to $200,000/ year for 2 years
Deadline: Please send applications by May 16, 2016 to BARR@dfci.harvard.edu

Patient-Centered Outcomes Research Institute (PCORI)
Pragmatic Clinical Studies to Evaluate Patient-Centered Outcomes
PCORI seeks to fund pragmatic clinical trials, large simple trials, or large-scale observational studies that compare two or more alternatives for addressing prevention, diagnosis, treatment, or management of a disease or symptom; improving healthcare system-level approaches to managing care; communicating or disseminating research results to patients, caregivers, or clinicians; or eliminating health or healthcare disparities. Proposed studies must address critical clinical choices faced by patients, their caregivers, clinicians, or delivery systems. PI's may only submit one LOI per RFA, however; an investigator listed as PI on one LOI may be listed and serve in another role on other LOI's on other RFA's during the same cycle. A PI may submit multiple LOI's to different RFA's in the same cycle, but must ensure that the research projects/topics are not similar. No more than two PI's can be named on an application.
Amount: $10,000,000 over 5 years
Deadline: LOI; May 4, 2016
Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance (OCRFA)
Liz Tilberis Scholars Early Career Awards
The Liz Tilberis Early Career Award is for junior faculty with a strong commitment to an investigative career in the field of ovarian cancer research. The intent of these awards is to support a substantial time commitment to research and academic endeavors in ovarian cancer. The investigator and the institution must certify that at least 75% of the scholar's time will be dedicated to ovarian cancer research. Applicants should be within the first 5 years of their first academic appointment.
Amount: $150,000/ year for 3 years
Deadline: LOI; May 9, 2016
Ovarian Cancer Research Fund Alliance (OCRFA)
Collaborative Research Development Grants (formerly Program Project Development Grant)
The purpose of this grantmaking program is to provide funds for ovarian cancer research projects that may involve several investigators within one institution or collaborations between groups in multiple institutions. Interdisciplinary collaborations are encouraged. The primary review criteria will be the likelihood that the investigators can leverage this funding to establish a research team capable of performing high-impact research and competing successfully for additional funding.
Amount: $300,000/ year for 3 years
Deadline: LOI; May 9, 2016
The Medical Foundation
The Henry & Marilyn YTaub Foundation
Grants Program for MDS Research
The Taub Foundation Grants Program for Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) Research was created to support high-impact, innovative translational research to understand the underlying causes of MDS and to advance its treatment and prevention. The Taub Program supports independent investigators at all stages of their careers. Awards are not restricted to investigators currently working in MDS. Applications from investigators in other fields and collaborative efforts are encouraged. Proposals focused on the progression of MDS to AML are not within the scope of this funding. Applicants may not have funding support for a similar project. Applicants may only submit one application as a PI.
Amount: $200,000/ year for 3 years
Deadline: LOI; May 13, 2016
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF)
Reach Grants
Reach Grants are designed to move hypothesis-driven research towards the clinic. This grant is intended to fund developmental therapeutic studies in the late stage of preclinical testing. A successful application will identify an unmet clinical need relevant to the care of patients with pediatric cancer and describe how the work performed will allow for the translation to the clinic within a few years of completion. Primary applicants may be Assistant, Associate or Professor level investigators who demonstrate a track record of discovery, investigation, and external funding. Applicants must have a demonstrated track record of pediatric cancer research with experience in translational research. Multiple investigator applications that bring together pairs or teams of researchers with complementary expertise are encouraged. Current Reach Grant recipients are not eligible for funding of related work.
Amount: $125,000/ year for 2 years
Deadline: May 27, 2016
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF)
'A' Awards
The 'A' Award is designed for the early independent career scientist who wants to establish a career in pediatric oncology research. The ideal applicant has an original project that is not currently being funded. Applicants must be within 5 years of their first faculty appointment as an Assistant Professor. Associate and Full Professors are ineligible. A minimum of 75% of the applicant's time during the 'A' Award period must be allocated as protected time for all research activities. Applicants may have research grants from other funding sources during the 'A' Award period, but there must be clear documentation of mechanisms to avoid scientific and budgetary overlap. Applicants currently holding an ALSF Young Investigator Award can apply (YIA). If the 'A' Award is given, it would supersede the YIA if there is an overlap in the funding periods. Applicants currently holding ALSF's Innovation, Reach, Phase I/II Infrastructure, BioTherapeutics or Epidemiology grants or that are Center of Excellence Scholars are not eligible to apply for the 2016 'A' Award.
Amount: $800,000 over 4 years
Deadline: May 27, 2016
