Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation Fellowship Award Deadline: March 15, 2021
|
The Foundation encourages all theoretical and experimental research relevant to the study of cancer and the search for cancer causes, mechanisms, therapies and prevention.
Candidates must apply for the fellowship under the guidance of a Sponsor—a scientist (tenured, tenure-track or equivalent position) capable of providing mentorship to the Fellow. In addition to aiding in the planning, execution and supervision of the proposed research, the Sponsor’s role is to foster the development of the Fellow’s overall knowledge, technical and analytical skills, and capacity for scientific inquiry. The Sponsor is also expected to assist the Fellow in attaining their career goals. Assistant Professors with limited mentorship are strongly encouraged to identify a more established scientist to co-sponsor the candidate.
Awards are made to institutions for the support of the Fellow under direct supervision of the Sponsor. Candidates who have already accepted a postdoctoral research fellowship award are not eligible.

Winship Invest$: Prostate Cancer Research Pilot Grant Funding Opportunity: Deadline March 15, 2021
|
Innovative proposals that address prostate cancer research including but not limited to basic or translational research, investigator-initiated clinical trials (related IRB submission must be either in review or approved), health disparities, imaging, survivorship or quality of life will be considered for funding. Proposals from Winship members at institutions outside of Emory are highly encouraged.
The Winship prostate cancer pilot grant opportunity is designed to enhance the development of a robust prostate cancer research program at Winship. It is expected that the submitted proposal will lead to the submission of extramural grant proposals seeking peer-reviewed funding from the National Institutes of Health, American Cancer Society, Veteran’s Administration, Department of Defense, Prostate Cancer Foundation, Movember Foundation, or other federal, state, public or private agencies. Collaboration between separate departments/operating units of Winship Cancer Institute and/or the broader Woodruff Health Sciences Center is strongly encouraged and will be prioritized as a proposal review criterion.
Please direct any questions you have regarding this funding opportunity to Mr. Jeff Mills (404-727-3634 or via e-mail at [email protected]).

Pediatric Networks for the Human Cell Atlas: Deadline March 30, 2021
|
The Chan Zuckerberg Initiative invites applications for three-year collaborative projects for the generation of healthy, single-cell reference data from pediatric tissue samples for the Human Cell Atlas (HCA). The Pediatric Networks should collectively generate new tools, open-source analysis methods, and data from a diversity of donors and organs that provide valuable contributions to the HCA community. Applications should focus on healthy human tissues that will contribute to a reference atlas.
Because varying projects require different resourcing levels, a budget limit has not been set on a per-project basis. Proposed budgets should reflect the project scope.

BRAIN Initiative: New Concepts and Early-Stage Research for Recording and Modulation in the Nervous System: Due May 3, 2021
|
This FOA seeks applications for unique and innovative recording and/or modulation technologies that are in the earliest stage of development, including new and untested ideas that are in the initial stages of conceptualization. Some projects may aim to increase recording or modulation capabilities by many orders of magnitude, while others may aim to improve the precision and selectivity of recording or modulation (also referred to as stimulation, perturbation, or manipulation). A wide range of modalities is appropriate including acoustic, chemical, electrical, magnetic, optical, and chemical, as well as the use of genetic tools. Link for More Information
