This program is supported by American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant, which aims to attract new investigators from Indiana University into cancer research and to provide support for new pilot studies that will produce preliminary data for the investigator to develop into studies that will compete successfully for external, national funds from both federal and private sources.

Funding is available for four pilot projects, beginning June 1, in amounts up to $40,000. Special funds also are available for one additional pilot study in the amount of $40,000 with a focus on pediatric oncology.
Applications are due Wednesday, May 1. For more information, see the complete request for applications.
