SEED GRANTS: The Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center’s American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant provides seed grant opportunities to junior faculty. Investigators in any department/college who wish to pursue pilot projects broadly related to basic and clinical areas of cancer research may apply. Deadline is noon on Wednesday, May 31, 2023.

This announcement invites applications from junior faculty members from all departments and colleges of the University of Iowa. This is a one-year, cancer-focused research award supported through the Holden Comprehensive Cancer Center’s American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant (ACS-IRG). The purpose of these seed grant awards is to foster research in cancer that cannot readily be supported through other available sources, and to permit the initiation of promising new projects or novel ideas necessary to obtain preliminary results for junior faculty to successfully compete for national research grants. These grants are intended to support independent, self-directed investigators early in their careers, for whom the institution provides the research facilities, the resources and space customary for an independent investigator.
