2010 Thomas E. Heftler Migraine Research Award

The American Headache Society® (AHS) and the Migraine Research Foundation (MRF) announce the 2010 Thomas E. Heftler Migraine Research Award. The $10,000 award will recognize the most innovative research proposal in migraine by a neurology resident or headache medicine fellow in an accredited U.S. program. Both clinical and basic science proposals will be considered. Reviewers will look for innovation, impact, and importance to the field of migraine research.

The Migraine Research Foundation created and funded the award in memory of Mr. Heftler who was a founding member of the Board of Directors of the Migraine Research Foundation until his untimely death in June 2007. The Migraine Research Foundation is the only organization whose sole purpose is to raise funds for innovative scientific research to further the understanding of the causes and mechanisms of migraine, to develop improvements in treatment, and to find the cure.

The American Headache Society® is a professional organization comprised of physicians and other health care professionals dedicated to improving the care and lives of headache sufferers.

The criteria are: (1) the quality of the research proposal; (2) the potential for the research to contribute to the advancement of the field of headache medicine; and (3) the quality of the research environment. Awardees must submit a progress report after 6 months of work, an abstract to the 2012 AHS Annual Scientific Meeting to be reviewed for presentation, and a manuscript based on this work to the journal Headache. Headache has the first right of refusal for the manuscript.

To be considered for this award, the completed application form and all supporting documents must be received by the AHS Executive Offices no later than 5:00pm EST on March 25, 2010.

* Proposals due March 25, 2010
* Winner announced April 15, 2010

2010 Ivy Request for Proposals

The Ben and Catherine Ivy Foundation is a non-profit organization that funds Patient-Focused Research on gliomas leading to the development of better diagnostics and treatment that offer long-term survival and a high quality of life for patients with brain tumors. Since our inception in 2007, the Foundation has funded $20.2M in glioma research.

Guided by its strategic plan and mission, the Ivy Foundation is interested in funding projects on the leading edge whose primary objective is to accomplish one or more of the following in a 12-month project period starting no later than July 2010:

Enhance the output of a clinical trial for adults with GBM by performing correlative studies which significantly increase understanding of the biologic impact of a candidate therapeutic and/or interpretation of clinical response data.
Identify or validate predictors of therapeutic responsiveness by GBM molecular subtype that could potentially lead to patient stratification for therapy selection.
Determine preliminary efficacy of novel candidate therapies or validate novel therapeutic targets in GBM models.

Research proposals MUST:

Focus on one or more of the three objectives outlined above, AND
Generate definitive results that are actionable, AND
Focus on adult GBM, AND
Clearly delineate relevance of GBM model to patient tumor biology (if employing GBM model).
Successful applications will LIKELY:

Involve conducting studies in patients or in patient-derived tissue specimens.
Be collaborative, multi-institutional and/or multi-disciplinary efforts.

$200,000

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 intention of the current request for proposals is to fund such adjunct studies to complement and synergize with ongoing MCL trials within the NCI Cancer Cooperative Groups and/or the LRF-funded clinical projects. 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:

You may submit an application if your institution is a:
--Non-profit organization
--Public or private institution such as a university, college, hospital and/or laboratory

--Domestic or foreign institutions/organizations are eligible

For-profit entities are not eligible to apply for LRF funds, however, should a for-profit institution have a relevant therapeutic or research project, they should contact LRF management to discuss possible public-private partnerships.

Any individual with the skills, knowledge and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research is invited to work with their (eligible) institution to develop an application for support.

o Applications are due on August 15, 2010. Applications will be peer-reviewed, and applicants will be notified of results by November 2010.

All applications must be submitted electronically. LRF allows up to 25 percent overhead. Smaller overhead amounts are preferred. To apply for these grant opportunities, please go to https://proposalcentral.altum.com

2010 Mantle Cell Lymphoma Project Planning Grant

$25K for up to 2 years: The Lymphoma Research Foundation's Mantle Cell Lymphoma Consortium is seeking applications for project planning grants geared toward obtaining larger-scale research support from NIH/NCI (or another major funder).

Multi-invenstigator, multi-site and/or mulit-disciplinary proposals are particularly encouraged.

ELIGIBILITY:
All principal investigators holding an academic faculty appointment, at non-profit organizations, or public or private institutions such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories, may apply for funding.
