Grant Program: Canary Foundation/ACS Postdoctoral Fellowship in the Early Detection of

Cancer

The Canary Foundation, in partnership with the ACS, is extending its postdoctoral fellowship

program focused on studies towards development of strategies for the early detection of cancer.

Research should be directed at new approaches to improve clinical methods for the detection of

primary tumors and/or metastases, including, but not limited to research focused in the following

areas: minimally invasive strategies for early detection; biomarker identification or discovery;

imaging, including novel molecular imaging strategies; and segmentation of early stage disease

according to prognosis. The projects that will be funded are expected to have a direct impact on

the early detection of cancer or to provide a clear conceptual or experimental foundation for the

future development of methods for early detection. High-risk, high-return proposals will receive

equal consideration.

Grant Program: Cancer Control Career Development Awards for Primary Care Physicians

(CCCDA)

This program is intended to encourage and assist in the development of promising individuals

who will pursue academic careers in primary care specialties with an emphasis on cancer control.

Through the CCCDA, the Society seeks to support primary care physicians in supervised

programs that will develop the candidate's clinical and teaching expertise and his/her capacity to

perform independent research in cancer control. It is anticipated that medical school faculty

trained under these awards will promote cancer control activities and methodology to students

and physicians in the academic setting, as well as those in private practice, and enhance the

cancer control knowledge base through scholarly activity.

Amount Available: $160,000

Grant Program: Research Grant

The Research Grant program assists investigators, new or established, who have research

projects for which they need support. While the OHF primarily seeks to fund grants which will

increase the understanding of primary hyperoxaluria and oxalosis and improve the clinical

management and treatment of the genetic diseases, applications focused on hyperoxaluria and

oxalosis associated with other conditions and diseases will also be considered.

related to developing treatments, preventions, and cures for glaucoma. The standard award

provides significant funding for researchers who have already generated some amount of

preliminary data, but often still require significant progress before they can apply to

governmental or industrial funding agencies. Although, in theory, no preliminary data is

necessary for AHAF awards, the most competitive proposals have data serving to back the

proposal. This data is used to evaluate the merit of the hypothesis and the competence of the

investigators to perform and interpret the proposed experiments.

The Thoracic Surgery Foundation for Research and Education (TSFRE) and the National Cancer

Institute (NCI) wish to announce a program of jointly sponsored Mentored Clinical Scientist

Development Awards (K08), and Mentored Patient Oriented Research Career Development

Awards (K23) directed at thoracic surgeons in the early stages of their research careers.

The purpose of the Mentored Clinical Scientist Development Award (MCSDA) is to support the

development of outstanding research scientists. This mechanism provides support for clinically

trained professionals who are committed to a career in laboratory or field-based research and

have the potential to develop into independent investigators.

Grant Program: TSFRE/NCI Mentored Patient Oriented Research Career Development

Award (K23)

The Mentored Patient Oriented Research Career Development Award (K23) is designed to

support the training of clinically trained professionals who have made a commitment to focus on

patient-oriented research. For the purpose of this award, patient-oriented research is research

conducted with human subjects (or on material of human origin such as tissues, specimens, and

cognitive phenomena) for which an investigator interacts directly with human subjects. This

award may also be used to support a patient-oriented research focused career development and

research training experience in translational research. (Translational research uses knowledge of

human biology to develop and test the feasibility of cancer-relevant interventions in humans or

determines the biological basis for observations made in individuals with cancer or in

populations at risk for cancer.)

AGA Research Foundation

Amount Available: $85,000

Grant Program: AGA/Emmet B. Keeffe Award in Translational or Clinical Research in Liver

Disease

This award is for a young physician investigator who wishes to pursue research on the topic of

viral hepatitis, liver transplantation, or other liver disease themed areas. The objective is to

enable physician investigators to develop independent, productive research careers in

translational or clinical research related to liver disease.

The proposed research must be a clinical study, an epidemiological study, or involve converting

a basic science finding or concept into a product that can be applied to the diagnosis or treatment

of disease, thus translating it into human studies.

Sponsor: Francis Families Foundation

Amount Available: $156,000 over three years

Grant Program: Parker B. Francis Fellowship program

The fellowship is intended to support the development of outstanding investigators who plan

careers in pulmonary research. The foundation seeks to help them as they make the transition to

independent, self-supporting, faculty members. Fellowship grants are awarded to institutions for

the purpose of providing stipends, fringe benefits, and modest travel expenses in support of

qualified post-doctoral fellows or newly appointed assistant professors. Award recipients will

thereby be enabled to devote the major part of their professional effort to research related to

pulmonary disease and lung biology.

Sponsor: Whitehall Foundation, Inc. Grant Programs

Amount Available: $225,000 over three years

Grant Program: Research Grants

The Foundation, through its program of grants and grants-in-aid, assists scholarly research in the

life sciences. It is the Foundation's policy to assist those dynamic areas of basic biological

research that are not heavily supported by Federal Agencies or other foundations with

specialized missions. In order to respond to the changing environment, the Foundation

periodically reassesses the need for financial support by the various fields of biological research.

The Foundation is currently interested in basic research in neurobiology, defined as follows:

Invertebrate and vertebrate (excluding clinical) neurobiology, specifically investigations of

neural mechanisms involved in sensory, motor, and other complex functions of the whole

organism as these relate to behavior. The overall goal should be to better understand behavioral

output or brain mechanisms of behavior.
