What types of funding opportunities are available?
Funding opportunities for cancer research can be broadly categorized into several types:
Research Grants: These are awarded to support specific research projects and can range from small, short-term grants to large, multi-year awards. Fellowships: These are designed to support early-career researchers, postdoctoral fellows, and doctoral students. Career Development Awards: These grants help early- and mid-career scientists establish themselves as independent researchers. Pilot Grants: These provide funding for preliminary studies that may lead to larger, more comprehensive research projects. Translational Research Grants: These focus on bringing laboratory findings into clinical settings to develop new treatments and therapies.
