Description:

The Cancer Research Institute is proud to announce its Technology Impact Award, a new program designed to challenge the world's leading scientists and out-of-the box thinkers to create a research plan and assemble a research team that will develop a new technology platform with the potential to transform the field of cancer immunotherapy.

The grant aims to support the development of highly innovative technologies that can ultimately be adopted by the research community at large and that will enable researchers to develop the next generation cancer immunotherapies that can be effective and personalized for each patient. Technologies may facilitate our understanding of the antigenic profile, cellular interplay, and mechanistic pathways within the tumor microenvironment that are essential for an effective anti-tumor response.

Application Details:

The award will go to a single scientist leading a cross-functional team who describes an extraordinarily novel, yet practical research plan that is creative and technically sophisticated. Applicants must hold a faculty appointment as a tenure-track assistant professor (or higher rank) at the time of award activation.

The deadline for the receipt of the Letter of Intent is November 15. Candidates will be notified by January 16 whether or not they have been invited to submit a full grant proposal. The full application is due March 15. Letters of intent must be submitted electronically. Please see the sponsor website for the electronic submission form and all required submission information, such as formatting.
