Description: |
This funding is intended primarily as seed money for promising and potentially transformative new projects, rather than funding well-developed clinical projects that already receive considerable support. Proposals should be focused on translational science, and use clinically relevant biospecimens when possible. Studies incorporating predictive biomarkers of response or resistance to therapy are also of interest. Applicants leveraging pre-existing data-sets, clinical samples, etc. are strongly encouraged to demonstrate direct and immediate access. Mechanistic studies are greatly aided by an argument for how greater understanding of mechanism is relevant to translational efforts. |
