SWOG/CSHL/JAX ITSC Pilot Awards
A collaboration among SWOG, The Jackson Laboratory, and Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory received a U10 grant from the NCI to accelerate the application of basic discoveries to clinical trials, and to apply novel technical approaches and model systems in the investigation of clinical cancer problems. The goal of this grant is two-fold: to support pilot projects that will promote the integration of ground-breaking basic research into clinical trials, and to develop educational programs to foster cross-discipline education to expose basic scientists to clinical processes and challenges and to update clinician scientists in new technologies that may transform clinical practice.
Four to eight projects will be funded per year, at $50,000 to $100,000 per year in direct costs.
