Due Dates (Anticipated): February 2027 (application deadline, projected)
Funding Amounts: Up to $100,000 direct costs for one year; typically 5–7 awards per cycle; F&A/indirect costs allowed as per institutional policy.
Summary: Supports innovative, cancer-focused pilot projects by Cancer Consortium members to foster new research directions and cross-disciplinary ideas.
This program provides one-year pilot funding to support highly innovative, cancer-related research projects proposed by members of the Fred Hutch/University of Washington/Seattle Children’s Cancer Consortium. The intent is to stimulate new lines of investigation and generate preliminary data for future external funding applications. Projects may span any area of cancer research, with special encouragement for cross-disciplinary and novel approaches, especially those that could improve patient outcomes or address cancer disparities.
