CASE CCC IN THE NEWSStem cell shift may bode well for Ohio Doctors, researchers on quest for a cure Choosing what to test and what should be funded Writers raise awareness with pens (Lisa's Legacy) Ohio 14th in lung cancer mortality rates PUBLICATION NEWS– Charis Eng, MD, PhDCongratulations to Charis Eng, MD, PhD, whose editorial "Microenvironmental Protection in Diffuse Large-B-Cell Lymphoma" was published in the November 29 edition of the New England Journal of Medicine. To view the editorial, please click here. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY– Skin Diseases Research CenterThe Skin Diseases Research Center (SDRC) is accepting applications for innovative research on skin diseases and skin biology, funded through its Pilot and Feasibility (P&F) Program. The SDRC plans to support three P&F projects for funding for one or two years with an annual budget of $20,000 each. Projects are supported with the understanding that the PI will subsequently apply for NIH or equivalent funding using preliminary data acquired during the P&F project period. Funding for the second year is contingent upon progress and submission of a second application. Deadline: January 9, 2009 For details, please click here. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY– Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP)The Ovarian Cancer Research Program (OCRP) is accepting applications for Consortium Development Awards. The Consortium Development Award is an infrastructure development mechanism which provides support to create a research management Coordinating Center and establish the necessary collaborations at potential Research Sites for the development of a multi-institutional ovarian cancer research team. Participants in this consortium should be scientists and/or clinicians who have made significant contributions to the field of ovarian cancer or who have specific expertise related to the early changes associated with ovarian cancer progression. Infrastructure development includes (but is not limited to): building appropriate collaborations, outlining an administrative management plan, developing a research and communication plan, and devising an intellectual property plan. The FY09 Consortium Development Award does not provide funding for research costs. Pre-Application Deadline: January 13, 2009 For details, please click here. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY– AACR-FNAB Fellows Grant for Translational Pancreatic Cancer ResearchAACR is currently accepting applications for the following Fellowship Opportunities: AACR-FNAB Fellows Grant for Translational Pancreatic Cancer Research AACR-Colorectal Cancer Coalition Fellows Grant, in memory of Lisa Dubow FUNDING OPPORTUNITY–AACR Career Development Awards for Pediatric Cancer ResearchAACR is currently accepting applications for Career Development Awards for Pediatric Cancer Research. These awards are open to junior faculty at an academic, medical, or research institution who completed postdoctoral studies or clinical fellowships no more than three years prior to the start of the grant term.

FUNDING OPPORTUNITY– James S. McDonnell FoundationThe Foundation offers Collaborative Activity Awards to initiate interdisciplinary discussions on problems or issues, to help launch interdisciplinary research networks, or to fund communities of researchers/practitioners dedicated to developing new methods, tools, and applications of basic research to applied problems. In each case the focus of the collaborative activity must meet the program guidelines for one of the following program areas: Applications are continuously accepted for these awards. For more information, please click here. FUNDING OPPORTUNITY– Ellison Medical FoundationCWRU has been invited to nominate TWO candidates for the Ellison Medical Foundation New Scholars Program in Aging. The objective of The Ellison Medical Foundation New Scholars Program is to support new investigators of outstanding promise in the basic biological sciences relevant to understanding lifespan development processes and age-related diseases and disabilities. The award is intended to provide significant support to new investigators needed to permit them to become established in the field of aging. The Ellison Medical Foundation was established and is supported by Lawrence J. Ellison to support biomedical research (including basic biology, basic biomedicine and epidemiology) on aging. Interested candidates should send the following documents to Richard.sohn@case.edu. Internal Deadline: December 8 For more information, please click here. MARK YOUR CALENDARS– Molecular Targets for Cancer Prevention SymposiumFebruary 4-5, 2009 The Center for Cancer Research and the Division of Cancer Prevention at the National Cancer Institute are presenting Molecular Targets for Cancer Prevention Symposium on February 4-5, 2009 at the NIH Natcher Conference Center in Bethesda, Maryland. Evidence from both preclinical and clinical studies will provide an exciting forum for timely discussion and debate on the state-of-the-science, recent advances, and opportunities for discovery. Abstract Deadline: December 1 For more information, please click here. CALL FOR PAPERS– Ohio Collaborative Conference on Bioinformatics (OCCBIO)The 4th Annual Ohio Collaborative Conference on Bioinformatics (OCCBIO 2009) will be held at CWRU June 15-17, 2009. The conference provides an interdisciplinary forum for the discussion of methods, research findings, and experiences in the area of Bioinformatics and Computational Biology. An important goal of the conference is to foster long-term collaborative relationships and networking opportunities within the domain of computational approaches to biology that benefit Ohio. OCCBIO invites researchers in the broad area of bioinformatics to submit their unpublished work to the conference. The conference proceedings will be indexed. Papers will be accepted December 27, 2008- January 27, 2009 For details, please click here. MARK YOUR CALENDARS–2nd Annual Biospecimen Research Network (BRN) Symposium: Advancing Cancer Research Through Biospecimen ScienceMarch 16–18, 2009 Human biospecimens are the foundation of the translational research that will transform patient care. The 2009 BRN Symposium: Advancing Cancer Research Through Biospecimen Science will focus on the significant impact of pre-analytical biospecimen variables on cancer research and molecular medicine. This promises to be a stimulating and informative three-day event that will feature interactive discussions and presentations about biospecimen quality and recent advances in biospecimen science.
