Request for Applications: DF/HCC Lung Cancer SPORE Translational Projects

Dana-Farber/Harvard Cancer Center Lung Cancer SPORE PI: Bruce Johnson     Request for Applications Translational Projects in Lung Cancer The Dana-Farber Harvard Cancer Center (DF/HCC) Specialized Program in Research Excellence (SPORE) in Lung Cancer is currently planning submission of a new SPORE application to the NCI in May of 2015 and is seeking applications for Translational Projects in Lung Cancer. Applicants (PI or co-PI) must be on the faculty at Harvard Medical School or Harvard School of Public Health at the level of Assistant Professor or higher.  Research may span the disciplines of basic biology, population science, or clinical science including imaging. SPORE projects should enable the rapid and efficient movement of basic scientific findings into clinical settings, as well as to determine the biological basis for observations made in individuals with cancer or in populations at risk for cancer. SPORE projects are required to reach a human end-point within the 5-year funding period. Similarly all clinical research needs to have a strong wet or dry lab component. As such, basic or population scientists need to partner with clinical scientists to ensure a plan for clinical application. Collaboration between investigators currently working in this field is strongly encouraged. We are seeking pre-applications in the form of a 2-page proposal that contains background, specific aims, research plan and plans for translation (see below). These pre-applicat...
