| Category | Call for proposal |
Aim: The Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Foundation (NETRF) invites innovative and transformative research proposals in neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) to help bring the field closer to more effective therapies. Basic, translational and clinical research applications are all invited, collaborations between investigators with expertise in different fields are encouraged. Grant proposals from multidisciplinary groups comprised of basic scientists, clinicians, and experts in bioinformatics, bio-nanotechnology, or other relevant disciplines are welcome. Proposals that cover promising and potentially transferable mechanisms and/or technologies, which have been applied successfully to other areas of cancer research, are highly desirable and will be evaluated based on their level of applicability to NETs.
NETRF offers four different neuroendocrine cancer research grants ( Accelerator, Investigator, Pilot, and Mentored Awards) with cancer research grants ranging from $100,000 to $1.2 million.
Funding & Duration: Pilot award - $100’000 for one year
Mentored award - $120’000 for two years
Investigator award - $300’000 for two years
Accelerator award - $1’200’000 for four years
Eligibility: Applicants must have a faculty appointment (assistant professor and above) for all programs except the Mentored Award, where postdocs can apply along with a mentor. Applicants must have the skills, knowledge, and resources necessary to carry out the proposed research. Prior research in this field is not a prerequisite; in fact, the Foundation wishes to encourage expert scientists to enter the field. Applicants must, however, demonstrate a plan for continuing their research in NETs beyond the award period. Eligible organizations include public or private institutions, such as universities, colleges, hospitals, and laboratories, both domestic and international.
All grant recipients, as a condition of acceptance, will be required to attend the annual NETRF Research Symposium. Up to $2,000 may be allocated from the grant to offset the recipient’s registration and attendance costs for the Symposium.
How to Apply: The NETRF grant application model employs a 2-step process (funding is only granted to applicants completing both steps):
Letters of intent and proposals are submitted through proposalCENTRAL. For more instructions on using the platform, see this page. If EPFL will serve as your host institution, please use the following institution name in proposalCENTRAL: Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne EPFL.
Deadline, LOI: 09-Mar-2020

How to Apply: The NETRF grant application model employs a 2-step process (funding is only granted to applicants completing both steps):
- Initially, a competitive Letter of Intent must be submitted. The LOIs allow NETRF to identify projects with the greatest scientific potential without requiring applicants first to submit a full application. A limited number of applicants whose LOI is deemed most meritorious will move to the 2nd step and will be invited to submit a full proposal.
- Mid-year, a limited number of LOI authors will be invited to submit full proposals for consideration by the NETRF Board of Scientific Advisors and external reviewers. Full proposals are due in the fall. Grant awards will be announced at the end of the year.
Letters of intent and proposals are submitted through proposalCENTRAL. For more instructions on using the platform, see this page. If EPFL will serve as your host institution, please use the following institution name in proposalCENTRAL: Ecole Polytechnique Fédérale de Lausanne EPFL.
