SPORE in Head and Neck Cancer Request for Research Proposals-LOI Due November 25
The SPORE in Head and Neck Cancer is soliciting new proposals for two of its Pilot Project Programs. The Career Development Program (CDP) is designed to provide training and guidance for academic physician-scientists, clinician-investigators, and laboratory-based scientists who wish to dedicate their efforts to translational research in the areas of diagnosis, imaging, prevention, treatment, and improvement in quality of life in head and neck cancer. The CDP will fund up to three CDP candidates per year for a period of two years, with a maximum of $50,000 in direct funds for each year. The Developmental Research Program (DRP) seeks to identify new research opportunities and to increase the number of investigators engaged in translational research for head and neck cancer by supporting meritorious proposals that might expand into full research projects in the future. Original projects with the potential to develop into independent R01 grants with a focus in head and neck cancer are encouraged. The DRP will fund up to four pilot projects for a period of one year with a total of $35,000 in direct funds for each year. All applicants must submit a Letter of Intent to the SPORE Administrator (dmray@emory.edu) by Wednesday, November 25, prior to sending in proposals. Proposals must be prepared using forms provided in the CDP or DRP Application Package, and must be sent to the SPORE Administrator (dmray@emory.edu) by Friday, December 4. Further information about these two pilot project programs can be found here.
