This annual state-of-the-art symposium is designed to continue the dialogue and interaction between research and clinical investigators by reviewing the current scientific understanding of vascular biology and angiogenesis. In addition, this symposium provides a forum for presenting the most current preclinical and clinical data on emerging anti-angiogenic agents and regimens. Strategies that inhibit angiogenesis in colorectal, breast, lung, esophageal, gastric, genitourinary, neuroendocrine, central nervous system, hepatocellular and gynecologic malignancies will be discussed. In addition, biomarkers and resistance pathways will be addressed and controversies in the field will be highlighted. In addition to participating in two panel sessions, Dr. Brian Rini is scheduled to present Anti-Angiogenic Therapy for the Treatment of Renal Cell Carcinoma.

Deadline: February 15 Leukemia and Lymphoma Society Translational Research ProgramThe Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS) Translational Research Program (TRP) was established to encourage and provide support for new and novel clinical research. The goal of the program is to accelerate transfer of findings from the laboratory to clinical application. The program's purpose is to fund research that shows high promise for translating basic biomedical knowledge to prevention or new treatments and, ultimately, to prolong and enhance life. Mandatory LOI Deadline: March 1 Lustgarten Foundation 2011 Innovator ProgramThe Lustgarten Foundation is pleased to announce its 2011 Innovator Awards Program to fund novel, "out of the box" concepts in both translational and basic research. Awards will be funded in the amount of $100,000 for one year, and may be renewable for an additional year of funding. Grants are open to domestic and foreign non-profit institutions. Spring 2011: Translational Research Innovator Awards Fall 2011: Basic Research Innovator Awards National CENter for ReGenerAtive Medicine UnderGraduate StudEnt (ENGAGE) Summer ProgramApplications are now being accepted for the National CENter for ReGenerAtive Medicine UnderGraduate StudEnt (ENGAGE) Summer Program. Now in its fourth year, the purpose of the ENGAGE program is to promote and support undergraduate student participation in research and creative projects within the field of stem cells and regenerative medicine. Proposed projects are expected to match the complexity of what is accepted by SOURCE and SPUR funding. This program is now open to all undergraduate students, not just CWRU students. Mentors must be full NCRM members in order to qualify for funding. Projects that provide matching funds and reduce the overall cost of the student will be given higher consideration. Deadline: March 31 ANNOUNCEMENTSNASA Space Radiation Summer SchoolApplications are now being accepted for the NASA Space Radiation Summer School, June 6–24. This program is designed for graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, and faculty with an interest in radiation biology. Both foreign nationals and US citizens may apply to the program. All selected students must satisfy Brookhaven National Laboratory safety and security requirements in order to be admitted. In addition, due to the intense nature of the three-week course, selected students must possess oral and written proficiency in the English language. Deadline: February 13 iMedRIS TrainingNew cancer research protocols requiring IRB review will be submitted, reviewed and stored electronically using the Case Cancer IRB electronic, web-based submission and review database provided by iMedRIS™ Data Corporation.
