Description
The Biology to Prevention Award is a collaboration between the American Cancer Society (ACS) and Cancer Research UK (CRUK). It supports a team research project aligned with CRUK’s Biology to Prevention funding scheme. Independent investigators at any career stage can participate, with proposals bringing together a U.S. principal investigator and a U.K. principal investigator.
The award sits within ACS’s broader commitment to basic, translational, clinical, and cancer control research. ACS’s Extramural Discovery Science team manages its grant process. This opportunity has separate submission deadlines for the U.S. investigator’s budget to ACS and the full application to CRUK, rather than the deadlines used for ACS’s standard grant mechanisms.
