Description
The Community-Based Partnership Awards are part of the OSUCCC – James Intramural Research Program (IRP) at Ohio State University. This funding opportunity is designed to support Ohio State investigators who collaborate with community entities to conduct cancer-focused, hypothesis-driven studies. The overarching goal is to generate preliminary data and foster partnerships that will enable submission of a competitive peer-reviewed grant application to the National Cancer Institute (NCI), particularly at the “R” grant level. Projects must engage the community as an active collaborator in the research process, demonstrate innovation, and outline a clear plan and timeline toward NCI grant submission.
