ACS Pilot Opportunity
The national chapter of the American Cancer Society has awarded Boston University a three-year Institutional Research Grant to encourage early-stage investigators by providing pilot funds for cancer research. These funds will make it possible for investigators to complete promising new projects and/or pursue novel ideas that will provide preliminary data for future grant applications from other agencies and programs. Three to four one-year awards of $50,000 each will be given. Research topics may include basic biomedical research, biomedical engineering, translational, clinical, population-based, psychosocial, and epidemiologic cancer research.
Please note:
-
- Applicants must have an appointment as Instructor or Assistant Professor.
