Award Grant: SWOG/HOPE Foundation Impact Award
 Aims to advance SWOG research by funding the early and conceptual stages of these projects. The work proposed should use resources from completed SWOG studies or be directly translatable to future clinical trials in SWOG and the National Clinical Trials Network (NCTN). Projects may involve scientific risk but potentially lead to a breakthrough in a particular area, or to the development of novel techniques, agents, methodologies, models, or applications that could have a major impact on cancer research.It is expected that support via this mechanism will lead to subsequent extramural funding from other sources, and will be a metric of success for this grant program. In addition, publications citing SWOG and The Hope Foundation will be further measurements. Any SWOG member investigator eligible for NIH funding is encouraged to submit to this program. $250,000 over 2 years

Award Grant: Hevolution/AFAR New Investigator Awards in Aging Biology and Geroscience Research
The major goal of this initiative is to identify and support promising junior investigators committed to aging research and geroscience with at least 3 years of independent research. The program provides flexible support for research projects in basic biology of aging, as well as geroscience (projects that translate advances in basic research on aging biology from the laboratory to the clinic.) The projects should focus on understanding the basic mechanisms of aging rather than disease-specific research. Projects investigating age-related diseases or functional disorders are supported only if approached from the point of view of how basic aging processes may lead to disease outcomes. Projects that deal strictly with clinical problems such as the diagnosis or treatment of disease, health outcomes, or the social context of aging are not eligible. Research areas could include, but are not limited to those described in the Hallmarks of Aging. To be eligible, the applicant must:
Be an independent investigator with independent research space for at least 3 years, as of July 15, 2024, as described in the Institutional Commitment Form.
Be no more than 12 years beyond the start of postdoctoral research training as of July 15, 2024. Exceptions to the twelve-year rule may be requested by emailing a biosketch to AFAR at grants@afar.org at least one week prior to the deadline date.
Have published at least three last author research papers in an international peer reviewed journal from independent work carried out in their own laboratory.
Propose a research project in basic biology of aging or geroscience.
Be at an academic, government or non-profit institution in Canada or the United States.
Investigators who may not have previously worked in the area of aging, but whose research interests and expertise are relevant and could lead to discoveries or new understanding in the biology of aging or geroscience are strongly encouraged to apply.
