Description:
This RFA solicits applications for integrated institutional research training programs to support promising individuals who seek specialized training in the area of cancer research. The goals of the Research Training Awards are to attract outstanding predoctoral (eg, PhD, DNS, or MD/PhD), and postdoctoral trainees committed to pursuing a career in basic, population-based, translational, or clinical cancer research; to expand the skills and expertise of trainees to promote the next generation of investigators and leaders in cancer research; to position most trainees for independent research careers; and to support the development of high-quality, innovative, and creative research that, if successful, could provide the basis for a significant impact on cancer prevention, detection, and/or treatment. Successful applicant institutions are expected to provide trainees with broad access to research opportunities across disciplinary lines and to maintain high standards for intellectual rigor and creativity.
