Eligibility

ACS Discovery Boost Grants, with an application deadline in December, offers numerous awards of $297000 each.

Description

The ACS Discovery Boost Grants are designed for exploratory research to develop research methodologies, establish feasibility, or pilot test high risk/high reward research across the research continuum. It is expected that the preliminary data generated from a Discovery Boost Grant will have the potential for securing additional grant funding to further the research once the project is completed and will open new and highly innovative areas for investigation. Independent investigators at any career stage are eligible to apply. Investigators must have a doctorate degree, (MD, PhD, DVM, or equivalent), and have a full-time faculty position or equivalent at a college, university, medical school, or other fiscally responsible, not-for-profit research organization within the United States. There are no citizenship restrictions. Please visit the award's website or contact the American Cancer Society, Inc. for more information.
