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.


Joint Developmental Research Program- Cancer Disparities Yale SPORE in Lung Cancer & Yale Head and Neck SPORE

Provide support of up to $50,000 for a translational pilot project focused on disparities-related cancer research in the field of Head and Neck and/or Lung cancer. Despite major progress in reducing cancer deaths and cancer incidence in the United States of America, health disparities exist across the country. Research in cancer disparities studies the differences in the incidence, prevalence, mortality, and burden of cancer and related adverse health conditions that exist among specific population groups in the U.S. These include American Indians / Alaskan Natives, Asian Americans, Black/African Americans, Hispanics/Latinos, Native Hawaiians and other Pacific Islanders, sexual and gender minorities, socioeconomically disadvantaged populations, and underserved rural populations.

Award Amounts: Up to $50,000 for one year commencing August 1, 2022.

Purpose: To provide seed money to investigators to support studies with a strong translational or clinical component that have the potential to evolve into, or be incorporated into, a full Yale SPORE project in either the Yale SPORE in Lung Cancer (YSILC) or Yale Head and Neck SPORE (YHN-SPORE). Projects with multi-disciplinary collaborations and community-based participatory research studies are encouraged.

Eligibility: Open to investigators who hold a faculty appointment at an academic institution who fall into one of the following categories:

1. Established investigators in lung or head and neck cancer who wish to address a translational question - not funded by current or pending grants/funds - related to cancer health disparities.

2. Junior investigators holding a faculty appointment proposing innovative research in the arena of cancer health disparities that require preliminary data to apply for an R01 or equivalent research support.

3. Independent investigators with a previous and/or current R01 or equivalent funding whose research to date has not been specifically directed at lung or head and neck cancer, or even at cancer more generally, but who are interested in exploring the applicability of their particular expertise to these cancer types in a translational cancer health disparities related project.

Women and minority investigators are strongly encouraged to apply.
Full applications are due: July 1, 2022

LOIs and full applications should be submitted online at: https://yale.infoready4.com/

Cancer Control Research in Persistent Poverty Areas (U54)

Through this FOA, the NCI invites applications for Cancer Control Research in Persistent Poverty Areas (Persistent Poverty Initiative). The goal is to provide resources to support the time and effort of transdisciplinary teams, in collaboration with institutions, clinics, and communities/tribes, to develop a cancer prevention and control research program and provide support to early-career investigators that focuses on and serves populations living in persistent poverty areas.

Application Deadline: July 6, 2022



Tobacco Centers of Regulatory Science (TCORS) for Research Relevant to the Family Smoking Prevention and Tobacco Control Act (U54)

The purpose of this FOA is to invite applications for TCORS to support biomedical and behavioral research that will provide scientific data to inform regulation of tobacco products to protect public health. Research Projects must address the Research Objectives related to the regulatory authority of the FDA Center for Tobacco Products.

Application Deadline: July 14, 2022


Yale SPORE in Skin Cancer DRP and CEP Awards

Beginning September 1, 2022 these awards fund projects in amounts up to $50,000 for one year with the possibility of competing renewal for a second year of funding. DRP and CEP projects must have promising translational research potential with application to human skin cancer. It is expected that they can evolve into projects with a clear translational component that are suitable for funding either within the Yale SPORE in Skin Cancer or as R01 or equivalent grants.
