National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Foundation Young Investigator Award
Internal Deadline: February 7, 2012
UM may nominate two candidates. Deadline for submission of an application to the foundation is March 22, 2012.
The National Comprehensive Cancer Network (NCCN) Foundation invites proposals from young investigators with innovative ideas and an interest in the development and application of the NCCN Clinical Practice Guidelines in Oncology (NCCN Guidelines(TM)). Studies may be for either research pertaining to the NCCN Guidelines(TM) (Category A) or approaches for cancer and its translation leading to clinical care through evaluative information products or policies (Category B). Please see the full RFP referenced below for details.
Each Young Investigator Award provides a two-year grant of $75,000, per annum, for direct research expenses. The award includes funds of $16,000 for data collection and research support (e.g., biostatistics) and $3,000 for IRB review and continuing review. Non-research related expenses will be covered to a maximum of 8 percent within the overall budget.
The award is open to clinicians, scientists, and nurses working in an oncology laboratory, clinical research or clinical setting, or cancer control program who are in the early stages of their careers. Applicants must:
- Have either a medical degree (M.D., D.O. or international equivalent), scientific degree (Ph.D. or international equivalent) or a nursing degree (Master's and above or international equivalent).
- Be in their first full-time appointment. (Clinicians and scientists should be in their first full-time appointment as an Assistant Professor, Instructor, or an equivalent level.)
- Not have other funding that duplicates the focus and purpose of this award.
- Have a mentor in the proposed research field, fully conversant in the clinical practice guidelines.

Before submitting an application for this internal competition, it is the applicant's responsibility to review the RFP (http://www.med.umich.edu/medschool/research/support/nccn_rfp.pdf) and verify that BOTH the applicant AND their project meet ALL eligibility criteria.
