CLIP is designed to accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into approaches that can improve outcomes for patients with cancer.
\r\n
\r\nThe 2027 CLIP theme is Primary and Secondary Cancer Prevention and Interception. This multi-investigator team science project aims to bridge the gap between basic mechanistic discovery and clinical application of innovative immune prevention or interception of primary cancer development and cancer recurrence after successful primary cancer treatment. Topics of interest include:\r\n
    \r\n\t
  1. Identification and validation of novel biological mechanisms driving early tumorigenesis and the progression of pre-malignant lesions for facilitating the development of targeted immune prevention therapies for both primary and secondary prevention.
    2. \r\n\t
  2. Integrating robust preclinical models with high-dimensional analysis of human tissue samples — including longitudinal samples from high-risk cohorts and pre-cancerous lesions or treated primary tumors — to elucidate key inflammatory pathways influencing antitumor immune responses, the role of the microenvironment, and mechanisms of immune evasion in early-stage disease.
    3. \r\n
\r\nDuration: 3 years
\r\n
\r\nFunding: up to $1,000,000
\r\n
\r\nEligibility: Candidates for a CRI CLIP Grant must hold a faculty appointment as a tenure-track assistant professor (or higher rank) at the time of award activation. CRI has no citizenship restrictions, and research supported by the award may be conducted at medical schools and research centers in the United States or abroad. Because CLIP is intended to support team-based translational research, proposals should bring together complementary scientific and clinical expertise. One PI should be designated as the Lead PI, with the others acting as Co-investigators.
\r\n
\r\nHow to Apply: The process for applying for a CLIP Grant consists of two parts: a Letter of Intent, and, if invited, a full application. Letters of intent and associated supporting documents must be submitted electronically through a special submission portal.
\r\n
\r\nDeadline, Letter of Intent: 01 December 2026
\r\nDeadline, Full Application: 01 March 2027 (by invitation)

SciComm Exchange is a two-day hands-on training program dedicated to science communication and outreach.
\r\nJointly organized by the University of Lausanne (Unil) and the Université Libre de Bruxelles (ULB), it offers early career researchers the opportunity to reflect on their communication and outreach practice, explore a wide variety of formats, engage with experts in the field, and develop their skills in knowledge dissemination. 
\r\n
\r\nOne research. Dozens of ways to tell its story. 
\r\nIt’s up to you to choose which ones you’d like to explore. 
\r\n 
\r\nOn 7 and 8 October 2026, SciComm Exchange invites PhD and postdoctoral researchers from all facultiesto explore new ways of communicating research through hands-on workshops, round-table discussions and meetings with specialists in the field. 
\r\nNew for this edition: the Video Hackathon. 
\r\nOver two days, a group of participants will be guided by audiovisual professionals to create short videos centered on a key question: why do we communicatescience, and to whom? 
\r\nParticipants from previous editions sum up their experience as follows: \r\n

For this RFP, sporadic FTD is defined as FTD that develops without an identified known causal gene mutation. Projects must have clear relevance to sporadic FTD; studies using GRN, MAPT, or C9orf72 models must explain how their findings will inform sporadic FTD beyond known genetic causes.
\r\n
\r\nThe program will fund its fourth annual cohort and seeks bold, rigorous, collaborative, and catalytic projects that broaden foundational knowledge of FTD and spur diagnostic and therapeutic advances. Responsive topics include basic biology; computational, AI, and data-driven approaches; biomarker discovery and validation; neuroimaging; proteinopathies; neuroinflammation and non-neuronal cells; environmental factors; novel risk factors and disease pathways; and innovative experimental models. Investigators from outside traditional FTD research fields are encouraged to apply, provided the team includes sufficient expertise in FTD biology.
