Funding

The Vera and Joseph Dresner Foundation MDS Research Fund
The fund will facilitate the advancement of innovative basic science, translational or clinical research to advance the understanding and treatment of Myelodysplastic Syndromes (MDS) and related blood disorders (such as MDS/myeloproliferative neoplasms (MPN) overlap syndromes, secondary acute myeloid leukemia following MDS, idiopathic cytopenia of undetermined significance (ICUS), or clonal hematopoiesis of indeterminate potential (CHIP).

The foundation will consider proposals from individuals at university, college, hospital, or laboratory institutions for support of research in MDS or related disorders in two types:
- Early Career Awards
- Established Investigator Awards

Letter of Intent (LOI) Deadline: LOIs are accepted on a rolling basis.

Launching soon: ASCI Emerging-Generation Awards

These awards recognize post-MD, pre-career physician-scientists who are meaningfully engaged in immersive research, giving them access to the Joint Meeting and longitudinal programming similar to the YPSA program. Entry into the ASCI network at this stage is intended to provide peer support and inspiration to stay the course into a physician-scientist faculty appointment.

Look for E-Gen Awards nominations to open in late October. Contact programs@the-asci.org for more information.
Conquer Cancer Grants & Awards

These grants and awards support clinical and translational cancer research done by gifted physician-scientists at every stage of their careers, from the best and brightest among young investigators to senior researchers providing mentorship opportunities for the next generation of cancer researchers.

International Innovation Grant (IIG) - Application Deadline: December 2, 2022

Cannabis and Cannabinoid Use in Adult Cancer Patients During Treatment: Assessing Benefits and Harms (U01)
Through this FOA, the NCI, NIDA, and NCCIH invite applications that propose prospective research studies to assess the benefits and harms of cannabis and cannabinoid use among adult cancer patients during active treatment. NCI, NIDA, and NCCIH are seeking well-designed prospective cohort studies of cancer patients with solid or hematologic tumors currently receiving treatment. Studies are expected to compare cancer patients who use cannabis/cannabinoids with cancer patients that do not use cannabis and/or cannabinoids.

Application Deadline: February 17, 2023


Basic/Translational Research on Health Disparities in Underrepresented People Living with HIV (PLWH) and Cancer (R01/R21)
Through this FOA, the NCI intends to focus on the biological interactions of cancer health disparities in people living with HIV (PLWH) from underrepresented minority groups through basic mechanistic or translational studies to investigate how HIV interacts with health disparities to promote both non-AIDS and AIDS-defining cancer initiation, progression, and the resulting pathogenic disease sequelae.

Application Deadline: December 15, 2023


NCI Cancer Moonshot Scholars Diversity Program (CMSDP) (R01)

This Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) supports the Cancer Moonshot Scholars Diversity Program (CMSDP) and solicits R01 grant applications that propose independent research projects within the scientific mission of the National Cancer Institute (NCI). The overarching goal of the CMSDP is to increase the number of R01 Early Stage Investigators (ESIs) and enhance the diversity of the cancer research workforce, while promoting scientific advancements in cancer.
