Cancer - CRI Clinic and Laboratory Integration Program ($ 200,000)

The Cancer Research Institute (CRI) in the United States invites applications for its Clinic and Laboratory Integration Program (CLIP). Deadline of submission is November 2, 2015. Grants are offered to qualified scientists who are working to explore clinically relevant questions aimed at improving the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapies. The program supports basic, pre-clinical, and translational research that can be directly applied to optimizing cancer immunotherapy in the clinic.

CLIP Grants are up to $ 100,000 per year for two years. Candidates for a grant must hold a faculty appointment as a tenure-track assistant professor (or higher rank) at the time of award activation. CRI has no citizenship restrictions, and research supported by the award may be conducted at medical schools and research centers in the United States or abroad.

The Cancer Research Institute funds research aimed at furthering the development of immunological approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer. The Institute's mission is to bring effective immune system-based therapies to cancer patients sooner.
