Description
The ACS-ASTRO Clinician Scientist Development Grant supports faculty with clinical responsibilities through mentored research participation and research training. The award provides protected time to help clinicians build the research experience needed to become independent clinician scientists. Its focus is career development toward independence, rather than support for an already independent research program.
The American Cancer Society’s Extramural Discovery Science team manages the grant process, with applications submitted and reviewed through ProposalCentral. Clinician Scientist Development Grants support questions relevant to improving health across the cancer research continuum. ACS’s broader research program funds basic, translational, clinical, and cancer control research, with a special emphasis on actionable research addressing health equity.
