Translational Adult Cancer Research Grant Program (Early Detection of Cancer)

Limited Submissions

The objective of the 2022 V Foundation Translational Adult Cancer Research Grant Program is to support translational research projects within the scope of adult cancer research, specifically in the focus area of early detection of cancer. Better early detection methods are needed for all cancer types. Translational projects should move a novel strategy from the bench to clinical application. The research should apply in some direct way to human beings within the time frame of less than 3 years. While not required, the V Foundation encourages research on the biological basis of cancer disparities experienced by patients from minority ethnic or racial populations in areas related to causes, aggressiveness, detection, treatment or relapse.

Eligibility Requirements

The nominated applicant must be the lead Principal Investigator (PI) on the Translational research team and must meet all of the following criteria:

  • Nominated by their Cancer Center Director or similar high ranking research official.
  • Employed at a non-profit research institution (e.g., 501c3, Section 170).
  • Hold a tenure-track or tenured faculty position at their cancer research institution. Non-promotable adjunct, affiliated, temporary, part-time or acting faculty positions are not eligible for Principal Investigator nomination to lead the Translational Research Team.
