2010 Clinical Translational Research Career Development Awards in Pediatric Cancer
The Larry & Helen Hoag Foundation are currently accepting grant applications for the 2010 Clinical Translational Research Career Development Awards in Pediatric Cancer.
Recipients will receive a maximum of $105,000 ($100,000 direct costs and $5,000 for institutional overhead expenses).
The purpose of the Clinical Translational Research Career Development Award in Pediatric Cancer is to support the development of outstanding clinician and translational investigators in pediatric cancer research. This mechanism provides support for specialized study by pediatric oncologists committed to a career in translational laboratory and clinical-based research. Candidates must have the potential to develop into independent investigators. The Award supports a three-year mentored research experience that integrates didactic studies with laboratory and clinically based research. The proposed research must have direct relevance to pediatric cancer, and the program must provide the experienced mentorship necessary to optimize the potential for the trainee to become a well-trained independent researcher.
Basic eligibility criteria consists of the following:
* Candidate must have a full-time faculty appointment at a U.S. Medical Institution or University and must be within 5 years of that appointment at the time of application.
* Candidate must have either an M.D. or M.D/PhD degree.
* Candidate must be sub-board eligible or certified in Pediatric Hematology-Oncology.
* Applicants on a J-1 training visa are ineligible.
Applications will be accepted on or before April 1, 2010.
Notification of award will be made by June 1, 2010.
