Oncology; Pediatrics Award Grant: Reach Grants |
Significant barriers exist that impede the translation of innovative and important ideas to the clinic. The Reach Grant seeks to remove one of these barriers by providing support for important pre-clinical hypothesis-driven research projects that are necessary to move a study from the pre-clinical arena into a clinical trial. Thus, the goal of this award is to support translational studies that will result in a phase 1 and/or 2 clinical trial, two to three years from the project end date. Examples of appropriate research projects include but aren’t limited to, completing IND-enabling studies, providing requisite pre-clinical data for clinical trial development, or perhaps through the validation of biomarkers that will enable selection of the correct patients for entry into new clinical trials. | Applicants need not be United States citizens. Funds must be granted to nonprofit institutions or organizations. Applicants must have an MD, PhD, or MD/PhD or equivalent and be appointed as faculty (or equivalent) at an academic institution. Applicants must have a demonstrated track record of pediatric cancer research with experience in translational research. | Amount: $250,000 over 2 years Date: 4/10/2025 |
