Research Innovation Award

Funding Agency:
Bladder Cancer Advocacy Network

The BCAN Bladder Cancer Research Innovation Awards support exceptionally novel, high-risk, high-reward projects with great potential to produce breakthroughs in our understanding of bladder cancer. The proposed research may be basic, translational, clinical or epidemiological and must have direct applicability and relevance to bladder cancer and/or upper tract urothelial carcinoma. Applications must include innovative approaches and new ideas (e.g., novel theoretical concepts, methodologies, instrumentation, interventions, etc.) to be eligible for funding. Projects must address an important problem and/or critical barrier to progress as well as a significant knowledge gap in the field of bladder cancer research.

Interested applicants must submit a Letter of Intent by Jan 10, 2023.
