2010 Mantle Cell Lymphoma Correlative Clinical Studies Grant
* $100K per year for 2 years: The Lymphoma Research Foundation (LRF) Mantle Cell Lymphoma Consortium seeks proposals for correlative clinical studies in mantle cell lymphoma. Applications to this initiative must be an adjunct to a major MCL research project and work in the clinical setting or with primary MCL patient samples. Innovative research by definition may uncover new questions and new areas requiring investigation. Basic funding often does not allow for additional, correlative studies to explore these areas.

The applications should clearly focus on MCL and have a high degree of relevance to research questions pertinent to MCL.
RESEARCH OBJECTIVES:To be considered for funding, an adjunct study should be:1. Associated with an ongoing, clinical research project focused specifically on mantle cell lymphoma and funded by LRF or the NCI.2. Intended to test a new hypothesis based on preliminary findings in the major study.3. Capable of furthering the understanding of mantle cell lymphoma and/or its diagnosis and treatment.Examples of eligible projects include, but are not limited to:--Molecular and/or genetic profiling of patient-derived samples--Identification of biomarkers--Immunological studies• Establishment of tissue arrays and other archival resources
Applications to this initiative must work in the clinical setting or with primary MCL patient samples.
ELIGIBILITY:
