Brief Description

PURPOSE OF AWARD:
Due to additional funds being donated to the Stuart Scott Memorial Cancer Research Fund, we are pleased to be able to offer a second V Scholar grant opportunity in 2020. This grant opportunity will be specifically for researchers who come from the Black/African American community, a minority group that is underrepresented in the scientific community. The V Scholar Award supports early tenure-track faculty by funding a range of projects from laboratory-based fundamental research through bench to bedside research. The total amount of the grant is $200,000, paid in two annual installments of $100,000. Only direct costs of the research are supported by this award.

SPECIAL FOCUS AREA:
ANY area of adult cancer research.

WHO MAY APPLY?

  • Each invited institution may submit one nominee who meets all eligibility criteria.
  • Only researchers who self-identify as Black/African Americans are eligible for this second V Scholar grant opportunity in 2020. This particular grant opportunity will use Stuart Scott Memorial Cancer Research Funds to support Black/African American early tenure-track faculty.
