American Cancer Society (ACS) Institutional Research Grants
Funds for seed money grants are available from our ACS Institutional Research Grant. Applications for 2009 were accepted until February 16, 2009 and reviewed for funding priority by the local ACS/IRG Review Committee at Norris Cotton Cancer Center. The principal purpose of these grants is to support studies undertaken by investigators who are early in their careers and need pilot data before submitting individual research grant applications.

Norris Cotton Cancer Center Developmental Funds (Prouty Pilot Projects)
The Prouty Pilot Project mechanism is designed to advance meritorious cancer research and collaborative interactions. Investigators at all levels may apply for support for preliminary studies that pursue novel approaches to the problems of cancer, build new interdisciplinary collaborations, and emphasize translation.

Norris Cotton Cancer Center Research Awards
These awards are made from time to time at the discretion of the Cancer Research Committee to fund projects of particular merit, as identified through a peer-review process defined by the Cancer Center Administration.

AACR-Prevent Cancer Foundation
The American Association for Cancer Research along with the Prevent Cancer Foundation is seeking candidates for the 2009 AACR-Prevent Cancer Foundation Award for Excellence in Cancer Prevention Research. Nominations were due by July 31, 2009. More information.
Canary Foundation/American Cancer Society
The Canary Foundation, in partnership with the American Cancer Society, is extending its postdoctoral fellowship program focused on studies towards development of strategies for the early detection of cancer. Research should be directed at new approaches to improve clinical methods for the detection of primary tumors and/or metastases, including, but not limited to research focused in the following areas:
minimally invasive strategies for early detection; biomarker identification or discovery; imaging, including novel molecular imaging strategies; segmentation of early stage disease according to prognosis. Completed applications were due by October 15, 2009. More information.
Hope Funds for Cancer Research
Hope Funds for Cancer Research is requesting research proposals for post-doctoral fellows working in oncology. These two-year fellowships will be awarded to post-doctoral scientists commencing in 2010 with stipends of $41,000 for the first year and $43,000 for the second year. Fellowships will be awarded to scientists who propose to work on highly innovative research projects that challenge the traditional paradigms of understanding the causes, mechanisms, progression, disease markers or risk factors of the most difficult-to-treat cancers. Proposals were due by September 17, 2009. More information.
