Description:

The goal of this grant program is to support unconventional concepts, approaches or methodologies to address problems in cancer research. Innovation projects will include elements of creativity, curiosity, investigation, exploration and opportunity. Successful projects may involve higher risk ideas, but will have the potential for "high reward", i.e. to significantly impact our understanding of cancer and generate new possibilities to combat the disease by introducing novel ideas into use or practice.

Abstract registration must be completed in order to submit a full application. Registration Deadline August 15, 2012. Funding will be provided to support the direct costs of research, including supplies, salaries, and equipment associated with the proposed work. Equipment requests cannot exceed 25% of the requested budget. Indirect costs are not eligible.

Application Details:

The purpose of this funding initiative is to support unique, creative research ideas that will impact cancer. Although this grant program is primarily designed to support the biomedical/translational (End 2) research community, applications from all areas and disciplines of cancer research will be considered eligible for funding and will be evaluated based on a common set of criteria. Applicants are required to submit proposals for studies that explicitly address the Society's mission to eradicate cancer and enhance the quality of life of people living with cancer.

The proposal will contain no more than 4 pages of single-spaced text and 2 pages of figures/tables/charts and associated legends. Specific guidelines for the online application are available. See Sponsor website for more detail.

INDIRECT COSTS ARE NOT LEVIED ON THIS PROGRAM
