Event details
| Date | 01.11.2019 |
| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: The Cancer Research Institute is requesting letters of intent for its Clinic and Laboratory Integration Program (CLIP). CRI offers CLIP grants to qualified scientists who are working to explore clinically relevant questions aimed at improving the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapies. The program supports pre-clinical and translational research that can be directly applied to optimizing cancer immunotherapy in the clinic.
Special update for 2019: In partnership with the Chordoma Foundation, CRI has secured designated funding that will provide for additional CLIP grants focused on topics related to accelerating the development of effective treatments and ultimately a cure for chordoma, a rare type of cancer that occurs in the bones of the skull base and spine. Proposals in this area are encouraged.
In addition, CRI has obtained designated funding that will provide for a limited number of additional CLIP grants focused on topics related to biomarkers, including such topics as tumor mutational burden, microbiome, host genomic factors, and others. Proposals in this area are also encouraged.
Duration: 2 years
Funding: USD $200’000
Eligibility: Applicants 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.
How 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.
Application Deadline: 01 November 2019 (Letter of Intent)
15 February 2020 (Full Application, by invitation)
