Israel Cancer Research Fund - ICRF: Acceleration Grants in Cancer Research - LOI

These awards are intended to speed up understanding of the biology underlying cancer and to provide new knowledge that will rapidly enhance the development of innovative therapeutics. Proposals must propose highly innovative approaches that have the promise of pioneering new ways of thinking about cancer biology and therapeutics. Preliminary data are not a prerequisite, but applicants are encouraged to provide data from disparate sources to support their rationale. As examples, applications may propose to discover and inform new, signaling or biochemical pathway interactions or to describe novel mechanisms which lead to metabolic changes that accompany tumorigenesis and that may provide novel therapeutic targets. Applications are not limited to these examples, but must propose novel approaches that are neither an extension nor expansion of currently funded projects. Grants that utilize interdisciplinary approaches and that are multi-investigator are encouraged. Funding: $50K/year for 2 years.
