CATEGORIES:Call for proposal
DESCRIPTION:Aim: The CRI Lloyd J. Old STAR Program—Scientists Taking Ris
 ks—provides long-term funding to mid-career scientists\, giving them the
  freedom and flexibility to pursue high-risk\, high-reward research at the
  forefront of discovery and innovation in cancer immunotherapy.  These gr
 ants are not tied to a specific research project\, but rather support outs
 tanding researchers based on the quality and promise of their overall work
 .\n\nThe profile of a recipient investigator would be a scientist who take
 s risks with the expectation of high rewards\, even in the face of potenti
 al failure. They will use their expertise\, scientific acumen\, and vision
 ary curiosity to ask important\, significant\, and often non-obvious immun
 ological questions. It is expected that their discoveries in basic or tran
 slational research will ultimately influence the development of new immune
 -based therapies that will be effective for more cancer patients.\n\nDurat
 ion:      60 months\n\nFunding:        USD $1’250’000\n\nEli
 gibility: The applicant must have an M.D.\, Ph.D.\, or M.D./Ph.D. (or equi

 rs in this position (appointed on or before July 1\, 2018)\n	Tenure-track 
 associate professor with a maximum of 3 years in this position (appointed 
 on or after July 1\, 2018)\n\n\nApplicants are expected to commit a minimu
 m of 80% of their time to conducting research. CRI has no citizenship rest
