THE BOSARGE FAMILY FOUNDATION-WAUN KI HONG SCHOLAR AWARD FOR REGENERATIVE CANCER MEDICINE

Funding Agency:
American Association for Cancer Research

The Bosarge Family Foundation-Waun Ki Hong Scholar Award for Regenerative Cancer Medicine represents a joint effort to encourage and support postdoctoral or clinical research fellows to conduct highly novel and provocative research in the field of regenerative cancer medicine and to establish a successful career path in this field. The research proposed for funding may be translational, clinical, or epidemiological in nature and must have direct applicability and relevance to enhancing the physiology of cancer survivors (and/or mitigating the negative effects of their cancer treatment) using regenerative medicine approaches.

This award provides a two-year grant of $120,000 to support the salary and benefits of the fellow while while working on mentored research focused on regenerative cancer medicine. A partial amount of funds may be designated for non-personnel expenses, such as research/laboratory supplies, equipment, publication charges for manuscripts that pertain directly to the funded project, and other research expenses. Indirect costs are not permitted.

Deadline: Feb. 7, 2023
