This call for applications is specifically for pediatric cancer research. The SOLE nominee may apply in either the V Scholar or the Translational program type:
Pediatric-Translational Cancer Research Grant
The V Foundation seeks to support translational research projects within the scope of pediatric cancer research. Translational projects should move a novel strategy from the laboratory into a human clinical trial or use specimens from a clinical trial to develop biomarkers or mechanisms. The research should apply in some direct way to human beings within the time frame of less than 3 years. If biomarker research is undertaken, a validation set or independent clinical trial is essential. A plan for biomarker validation, if applicable, must be included in any proposal. The endpoint of the project should be the planning or initiation of a new pediatric clinical trial.
Pediatric-V Scholar Cancer Research Grant
The Pediatric V Scholar Award supports young tenure-track faculty early in their cancer research career by funding projects that are either laboratory-based fundamental research or translational research.
