MULTI-TIER DEVELOPMENTAL RESEARCH FUNDING ANNOUNCEMENT

The mission of the Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center (VICC) is to alleviate cancer death and suffering through pioneering research; innovative, patient-centered care; and evidence-based prevention, education and community activities. VICC aims to further this mission through a new program for Developmental Research Funding; a multi-tier, rolling pilot funding opportunity focused on supporting novel, innovative cancer-relevant projects. This funding aims to support VICC members conducting high-risk, innovative, impactful research to support the generation of preliminary data required for the submission of external, cancer-relevant grant applications (e.g., NIH R, U, or P type; DOD). The purpose of this funding mechanism is to provide VICC members the option to apply for the level of funding needed to support their project.

Three funding tiers are available to qualified VICC members from Vanderbilt University Medical Center, Vanderbilt University, Meharry Medical College and Tennessee State University. Rolling grants will be awarded for one-year projects beginning in January of 2021, with the possibility of renewal for a second year based on measurable progress of impact.

Three Tiers of Support are Available to VICC Members:

TIER 1 – Requests < $3,000
TIER 2 – Requests between $3,000 and $10,000
TIER 3 – Requests > $10,000
