American Cancer Society-Institutional Research Grant (IRG) Funding Opportunity
Applications are being solicited for support by the American Cancer Society-Institutional Research Grant (IRG). These funds are designed to provide seed money to support junior faculty members with an interest in cancer research who do not have national grant support of their own or who have not received prior support from the IRG. The ACS defines junior faculty as investigators at the rank of assistant professor or equivalent who are eligible to apply as a principal investigator for grant support from national agencies.
Faculty members with an interest in the psychosocial and behavioral aspects of cancer as well as in basic and clinical research are encouraged to apply.
- Funds are available to all schools at Vanderbilt University. Individual allocations are limited to a maximum of $20,000. The earliest possible start date for this funding cycle will be January 1, 2008-December 31, 2008.
- Deadline for applications is Friday, November 16, 2007. The awards will be announced late December 2007.
