Application deadline: November 30, 2012, at noon, ET
Decision date: March 2013
Annual Grants Reception and Dinner at AACR Annual Meeting 2013: April 9, 2013
Start of grant term: July 1, 2013
The AACR-National Brain Tumor Society Career Development Award for Translational Brain Tumor Research represents a joint effort to encourage and support junior faculty who are in the first 5 years of a faculty appointment (at the start of the grant term) to conduct brain tumor research and establish successful career paths in this field. The research proposed for funding must be translational in nature and have direct applicability and relevance to brain tumors.
The Award provides $150,000 over two years ($75,000 per year) for direct research expenses; which may include the salary and benefits of the grant recipient, postdoctoral or clinical research fellows, and/or research assistants, research/laboratory supplies and equipment.
It is anticipated that one award will be funded.
Applicant Eligibility Criteria
Applicants must have a doctoral degree (including Ph.D., M.D., D.O., D.C., N.D., D.D.S., D.V.M., Sc.D., D.N.S., Pharm.D., or equivalent doctoral degree, or a combined clinical and research doctoral degree) in a related field and not currently be a candidate for a further doctoral or professional degree.
At the start of the grant term on July 1, 2013, applicants must:
Hold a full-time faculty position with the title of instructor, research assistant professor, assistant professor, or an equivalent full-time faculty position
Have held a full-time faculty position or the equivalent for no more than five years (i.e., cannot have had a full-time faculty appointment before July 2, 2008)
Work at an academic, medical, or research institution within the United States. (There are no citizenship requirements; however, an applicant who is not a U.S. citizen or permanent resident, by submitting an application for this grant, assures that his/her visa status will provide sufficient time to complete the project and grant term within the United States.)
Employees or subcontractors of a government entity or for-profit private industry are not eligible. Exceptions include applicants holding full-time positions at a veterans' hospital or national laboratory (e.g., Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory) in the United States. Contact AACR before submitting an application to determine your eligibility.
Both AACR members and nonmembers are eligible to apply. However, nonmembers must submit a satisfactory application for AACR active membership by December 4, 2012. The application will be applied to 2012 membership dues. Download a membership application.
Any individual who currently holds an active AACR grant may not apply. Past AACR grantees may apply if they complied with all progress and financial report requirements.
Individuals may concurrently apply for other AACR grants; should an applicant apply for multiple AACR grants, he/she is expected to accept the first grant awarded. Individuals may accept and hold only one AACR grant at a time.
Postdoctoral or clinical research fellows or the equivalent who are working under the auspices of a scientific mentor are not eligible to apply. Qualified fellows are invited to apply for an AACR Fellowship.
