FUNDING OPPORTUNITY – DOD Breast Cancer Research ProgramThe Department of Defense Breast Cancer Research Program (BCRP) is currently accepting applications for the FY07 BCRP Concept Award. The BCRP challenges the scientific community to design innovative research that will foster new directions for, address neglected issues in, and bring new investigators to the field of breast cancer research. The BCRP focuses its funding on innovative projects that have the potential to make a significant impact on breast cancer, particularly those involving multidisciplinary and/or multi-institutional collaborations and alliances. The BCRP encourages risk-taking research; however, all projects must demonstrate solid judgment and rationale. Pre-application Deadline: January 9 For more information, please click here. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY – Ohio Cancer Research AssociatesSeed money grants are available from Ohio Cancer Research Associates. The independent organization offers $25,000 for two years through its annual competition. The grants awarded by Ohio Cancer Research Associates are made to support research activities broadly related to cancer and leukemia. The organization seeks to fund research that will lead to continued support at the national level. Ohio Cancer Research Associates grants are design to encourage junior faculty to apply. Full professors are not eligible to apply and applicants must be within six years of their first independent research position. Ten to twelve grants will be awarded in 2008. Application Deadline: February 22 For more information, click here, or call (800) 232-6272.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITY – AACRThe American Association for Cancer Research (AACR) is now accepting applications for two Fellowships and one Major Research Grant: AACR Centennial Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in Cancer Research: Will provide $60,000 per year for up to three years to provide salary support and research funding for clinical and postdoctoral fellows in the first, second, or third year of their fellowship status. In addition to financial flexibility these fellowships also provide career flexibility. Fellowship funds may be transferred to move with the grantee if the grantee's fellowship is completed during the grant term - a valuable commodity for a newly-independent investigator. AACR Centennial Pre-doctoral Research Fellowships in Cancer: Will provide full-time graduate students a rare opportunity to invest in their future cancer research careers. The grant terms are flexible, allowing applicants to tailor their grant funds to fit their individual research funding and salary needs. Grantees may also transfer their funds to a postdoctoral fellowship position, should they advance in their careers during grant term. A grant of $30,000 per year over a maximum period of three years will be awarded for salary support and research funding. Littlefield-AACR Grants for Metastatic Colon Cancer Research: Support innovative cancer research projects designed to improve the survival and quality of life of patients with metastatic colorectal cancer. Such projects must lead to individualized therapeutic options for treatment or development of promising new cancer therapeutics for metastatic colon cancer which will translate into clinical applications within a one- to two-year period. Due to the intent to support projects on an accelerated track into the clinic, special emphasis will be placed on those where Phase I clinical trials have been successfully conducted. These grants will be provided in an amount between $500,000 - $1,000,000. The AACR will award 2-4 grants in 2008.
