CASE CCC IN THE NEWSSymptoms of Ovarian Cancer Vague, Tests Unreliable Drug Shortages Leave Cancer Patients at Risk NEW MEMBERS CORNERPlease join us in welcoming the newest members of the Case CCC: Bibo Li, PhD Yousif Matloub, MD Dale R. Shepard, MD, PhD Ping Xia, PhD FUNDING OPPORTUNITIESIndividual Biomedical Research AwardsCWRU is eligible to nominate two faculty members for the Hartwell Foundation Individual Biomedical Research Awards. Projects should represent early-stage biomedical research that has not yet qualified for significant outside funding, including those not yet submitted for funding consideration. The Foundation is looking for research projects that are innovative and cutting-edge, and will only consider proposals that reflect relevance in terms of potential benefit to children. Internal Deadline: July 15 Searle Scholars ProgramCWRU is invited to submit applications for the 2012 Searle Scholar Program competition. The Searle Scholars Program makes grants to selected universities and research centers to support the independent research of exceptional young faculty in the biomedical sciences and chemistry. This limited funding opportunity is for assistant professors in a tenure-track appointment pursuing independent research careers in biochemistry, cell biology, genetics, Immunology, neuroscience, pharmacology, and relevant areas in chemistry, medicine, and the biological sciences. Internal Deadline: July 25 Prostate Cancer Foundation Young Investigator Awards 2011The Prostate Cancer Foundation (PCF) is pleased to announce another round of funding for early career prostate cancer researchers. These awards focus efforts on developing a gifted cohort of investigators to undertake the next generation of prostate cancer research. Please note: the full RFA is now available but the application website will not be accepting submissions until July 17. Mentorship is required for every PCF Young Investigator Award applicant and grantee. Deadline: August 1 CTSC Core Utilization Pilot GrantsThe Clinical and Translational Science Collaborative (CTSC) is accepting applications for the CTSC Core Utilization Pilot Grants competition. These awards fund the use of Core Services only, ranging from $1,000 to a maximum of $10,000, to aid in achieving pilot data. For new investigators and investigators seeking extramural funding in a novel line of work, the all-important preliminary data may be the critical step in competing for a larger grant. The CTSC Core Utilization Pilot Grant program is to support investigator use of CTSC Core operations, in anticipation of applications for extramural funding. Deadline: August 1 Pilot Project Grants: American Cancer Society IRG AwardsThe Case CCC is currently accepting applications for American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant (IRG) awards. Pilot funding is available for projects in basic, clinical, prevention and control, behavioral, health services, and epidemiology cancer research with awards up to $30,000 for one-year cancer research projects that provide the basis for future independent grants. Instructions, frequently asked questions, and application forms are available at http://cancer.case.edu. Contact Terri Daso, Cancer Center Administration (844-7252, tld6@case.edu) for more information.
