Description
This award funds pilot projects that stimulate innovative cancer research within the Fred Hutch/University of Washington/Seattle Children's Cancer Consortium. The goal is to seed new ideas and cross-disciplinary collaborations that can generate preliminary data for future external funding. There are no restrictions on research topic, provided the project is cancer-focused. Projects that are highly innovative, represent a new direction for the investigator, and involve non-interventional or cross-disciplinary research are especially encouraged.
