Pre-R01 Brainstorm Award: Masonic Cancer Center

Funding opportunity

Deadline

To be announced

The Masonic Cancer Center is soliciting applications for Pre-R01 Brainstorm Pilot Grants. The objective of this funding mechanism is to foster interdisciplinary collaborations encompassing novel, hypothesis-driven studies of cancer or a cancer-related topic/theme. Proposed research must have the clear goal of using the award as a springboard to obtain a new R01 (or equivalent) from federal sources. Research ideas that support the MCC Scientific Priorities for Growth are highly encouraged and will be given special consideration. In turn, the cancer center expects that these internal awards will lead to nationally peer reviewed funding. Funding priority will be given to those projects that address a cancer-related challenge unique in the State of Minnesota (e.g., projects relevant to underserved racial/ethnic minorities and/or rural populations or specific exposures to cancer causing compounds).
