The Cancer Prevention & Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) offers this award through its Academic Research program to help institutions recruit emerging cancer researchers to Texas. It focuses on candidates pursuing their first tenure-track faculty appointment who show potential to make outstanding contributions to cancer research.
