Description

The Career Development Award (CDA) provides substantial research funding to clinical investigators who have recently received their initial faculty appointment and are working to establish an independent clinical cancer research program. This award is designed as a mentored opportunity, requiring recipients to conduct patient-oriented research—including clinical studies and/or translational research involving human subjects—under the guidance of a scientific mentor. Proposals with a primary focus on in vitro or animal studies are not eligible. Applications are welcome from both U.S. and international investigators across all areas of cancer research.
