'A' Award Grants
The 'A' Award is designed for the early independent career scientist who wants to establish a career in pediatric oncology research. The ideal candidate has an original project, can demonstrate outstanding career development support from the institution and has a strong future commitment to pediatric cancer investigation. These awards are open to MD, MD/PhD and PhD applicants who are within ten years of their terminal degree and five years of their first faculty appointment as an Assistant Professor at the time that their application is submitted. The 'A' Award offers up to $200,000 per year for four years.
In 2022 the 'A' Awards do not allow for applicants to have NIH funding as it has previously. However, we are pleased to launch the R Accelerated Award for researchers who have received a pediatric cancer focused NIH R01 Award or equivalent (e.g. ACS) within the last five years and have an original project which will accelerate the discovery of more effective, less toxic therapy for children with cancer.
