The goal of the grant program is to encourage junior faculty who have completed their most recent doctoral degree or medical residency within the past 11 years at the start of the grant term, to pursue novel, high-risk, high-reward cancer prevention research. Travel support is included to help foster interactions and collaborations among cancer scientists studying various aspects of cancer biology and to disseminate scientific knowledge about cancer prevention research within the field. Proposed projects may differ from current accepted practice and break new ground or extend previous findings in new directions and therefore, may not be supported by substantial preliminary data. Accordingly, such projects will be evaluated based on the conceptual framework, the level of innovation, and the potential for high reward.
