Grant Support for Scientific Research on Cancer in New Jersey (USA)
GrantID: 18961
Grant Funding Amount Low: $100,000
Deadline: Ongoing
Grant Amount High: $500,000
Summary
This grant program supports scientific research on cancer, with a particular emphasis on uncovering the fundamental mechanisms of how cancer develops and spreads. The funding is aimed at early-career investigators who are ready to take bold steps in hypothesis-driven work. There is also a more specialized track that supports research in a particular cancer subtype, open to investigators across the country.
The award is quite substantial for a one-year grant: recipients can receive around $100,000 to cover direct research costs. These funds are intended to help researchers build momentum in their labs—for buying supplies, engaging in experiments, and advancing ideas that could grow into larger projects.
Applications are evaluated by a scientific advisory committee composed of experts. They assess proposals based on originality of the research question, scientific rigor, potential to reveal new insights, and the feasibility of completing the work within the grant period.
Eligibility is restricted to individual investigators (not nonprofits or community organizations), and grant recipients typically need to be employed at a research institution. While one of the grant tracks focuses on a specific geographic region, the broader track welcomes applications more widely.
Overall, this opportunity is meant to accelerate promising early-stage cancer research, enabling researchers to launch or expand innovative projects with the goal of deepening our understanding of cancer biology and potentially informing future therapies.
