Career Development Program: Scholar in Clinical Research Grant

The Career Development Program: Scholar in Clinical Research supports emerging leaders in blood cancer research. It is designed for qualified investigators with independent faculty-level positions who conduct clinical research involving patients. This program emphasizes research that advances the understanding and treatment of hematologic malignancies. The award spans five years, providing a maximum of $125,000 annually, and aims to foster innovative clinical trials and research initiatives.

The Scholar in Clinical Research award supports rising stars in the clinical blood cancer research field. You must be a highly qualified investigator who holds an independent faculty-level appointment and is conducting independent clinical research, often involving early-stage clinical trials, that will advance the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of hematologic malignancies and/or relevant pre-malignant conditions. The research should be related to your clinical activities and must directly involve patients. Investigators who are primarily laboratory-based, and/or who are working on primarily blood cancer model systems rather than blood cancer patients are not eligible for the Scholar in Clinical Research Award and should consider applying for the Scholar Award instead. The Scholar in Clinical Research application and review process has fundamentally changed from project-based to research program-based and therefore, the application is unlike a standard research grant.
This award is for 5 years and the maximum award per year is $125,000.
