Funding Expectations and Restrictions

Each research team may submit proposals for up to $50,000 over a two-year period. CCIL/SCC Collaborative Research Grant Program funding is expected to be catalytic. The initiative will not provide interim or incremental support for existing research programs or projects. Projects should not anticipate additional internal funding after the CCIL/SCC funds are exhausted.

Proposal Preparation

Please provide a one to two-page narrative describing the research project and its relevance to cancer, including its potential for broad impact. Additionally, include a statement regarding the potential translational applications of the proposed research. Include a statement of the total funding requested, which must not exceed $50,000.

Please include an additional page in your proposal that lists all team members, their roles (Co-PI, Co-Investigator), position/title, home organization, and contact information. Supplemental attachments are not permitted. Indirect costs, sub-contracts, and salaries for the PIs are not permissible.

Reporting Requirements

Funded projects are required to submit the following reports:

• One-year projects: A final report at the end of the project year.
• Multi-year projects: An annual report at the end of the first year and a final report at the project’s conclusion.

Each report should emphasize the collaborative nature of the research and detail the progress made toward achieving the specific goals. It should also highlight potential or anticipated next steps for further development (e.g., external funding applications based on pilot data, workshops and presentations, or publications).
