NIH Loan Repayment Programs: A Lifeline for Biomedical and Biobehavioral Researchers: Applications Accepted September 1 – November 15
By the time many researchers have completed their education and training, they have amassed on average $160,000 in student loan debt.  The NIH Loan Repayment Programs (LRPs) are a set of programs established by Congress and designed to recruit and retain highly qualified health professionals into biomedical or biobehavioral research careers. The LRPs counteract early-career researchers’ financial pressure by repaying up to $35,000 annually ($70,000 over a two-year contract) of a researcher’s qualifying educational debt in return for a commitment to engage in research areas important to the mission of NIH. Nearly ...

Fusion Oncoproteins in Childhood Cancers (FusOnC2) Consortium (U54 Clinical Trial Not Allowed)
Funding Opportunity RFA-CA-19-016 from the NIH Guide for Grants and Contracts. The FOA will focus on fusion oncoproteins found in tumors that have high risk of treatment failure and for which there has been little progress in identifying targeted agents. Responsive applications can focus on any fusion oncoprotein in pediatric solid tumors or on NUP98 fusion proteins that occur in young children with acute myelogenous leukemia (AML). However, greater preference will be given to applications focused on PAX-FOXO (alveolar rhabdomyosarcoma), C11orf95RELA (ependymoma), or NUP98 fusion proteins. (Source: NIH Funding Opportuni...
