Caring for Carcinoid Foundation-American Association for Cancer Research Grants for Carcinoid Tumor and Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Research

Application Deadline: September 15, 2010, at 12:00 noon Eastern Time

Decision Date: January 15, 2011

Start of Grant Term: February 1, 2011

Recognition Event for Grant Recipients at AACR 102nd Annual Meeting 2011: April 5, 2011

The Caring for Carcinoid Foundation-AACR Grants for Carcinoid Tumor and Pancreatic Neuroendocrine Tumor Research represent a joint effort to promote and support innovative cancer research. These grants are available to independent junior and senior investigators to develop and study new ideas and approaches that have direct application and relevance to carcinoid tumors or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Proposed research may be in any discipline of basic, translational, clinical, or epidemiological cancer research.

Applications are invited from researchers currently in the field as well as from investigators with experience in other areas of cancer research who have promising ideas or research approaches that can be applied to carcinoid tumor and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor research.

These two-year grants will provide $250,000 over the grant term ($125,000 per year). Grant funds support direct research expenses, which may include the salary and benefits of the grant recipient and any collaborators (limited to 25 percent of the total grant), postdoctoral or clinical research fellows and/or research assistants, equipment, travel and supplies (indirect costs not permitted).

Mentored researchers working in carcinoid tumor and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor research should consider applying for the Raymond and Beverly Sackler AACR Fellowships for Ileal Carcinoid Tumor Research.

It is anticipated that two grants will be funded.

Research Project Criteria

Proposals will be accepted for new ideas and innovative approaches that have direct application and relevance to carcinoid tumors and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Proposed research projects can be any in discipline including basic, translational, clinical, or epidemiological cancer research.

Applications are invited from researchers currently in the field as well as from investigators with experience in other areas of cancer research who have promising ideas or research approaches that they will directly apply to carcinoid tumors or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors. Investigators who have powerful experimental tools that will lead to a better understanding of neuroendocrine tumor biology, elucidate the mechanisms of currently available therapies in neuroendocrine tumors, and identify new treatment targets for carcinoid tumors or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors are encouraged to apply. The applicability of the proposed project to carcinoid tumor or pancreatic neuroendocrine tumor research must be fully described. A track record of research in this specific field is not a requirement for funding.

Genomic, RNA, and proteomic studies of carcinoid tumors and pancreatic neuroendocrine tumors that may complement ongoing genome-wide sequencing efforts funded by Caring for Carcinoid Foundation will be considered but special emphasis will be placed on research that is not duplicative of projects currently funded by the Caring for Carcinoid Foundation (see www.caringforcarcinoid.org for listing of grants).
Applicant Eligibility Criteria

Applicants must have a doctoral degree (including Ph.D., M.D., D.O., D.C., N.D., D.D.S., D.V.M., Sc.D., D.N.S., Pharm.D., or equivalent doctoral degree, or a combined clinical and research doctoral degree) in a related field and not currently be a candidate for a further doctoral or professional degree.

Applications will be accepted from independent investigators at all levels who are affiliated with an academic, medical or research institution anywhere in the world. There are no citizenship or geographic requirements.

Employees or subcontractors of a government entity or for-profit private industry are not eligible. Exceptions may apply if an applicant holds a full-time position at a veterans' hospital or national laboratory in the United States. Employees or subcontractors of a government entity or for-profit private industry may serve as collaborators, but no grant funds may be directed towards these individuals or their respective institutions. Contact the AACR before submitting an application to determine your eligibility.

Applicants with a question about eligibility are encouraged to contact the AACR at grants@aacr.org, prior to submitting an application.
