Research Awards - Funding Opportunities
Multi-Investigator Research Awards:
This RFA solicits applications for integrated programs of collaborative and cross-disciplinary research among multiple investigators for projects in critical areas of cancer research that cannot be effectively addressed by an individual researcher or a group of researchers within the same discipline. The equivalent of program projects, centers, NCI SPOREs, shared instrumentation, core laboratories, clinical trials, or other types of collaborative interaction is appropriate. The maximum performance period is 5 years, with no set maximum award amount.
Recruitment of First-Time, Tenure-Track Faculty Members:
This RFA seeks to support emerging investigators with the ability to make outstanding contributions to the field of cancer research, promote inquiry into new areas, foster collaboration, and stimulate growth in the field. Institutions must apply for a specific candidate who, at the time of the application, must not hold an appointment at the rank of assistant professor or above (or equivalent) at an accredited academic institution, research institution, industry, government agency, or private foundation. The candidate may or may not reside in the State of Texas at the time of the application.

The candidate must not reside in Texas at the time the application is submitted.
Recruitment of Established Investigators:
This RFA is designed to attract outstanding senior research faculty with established cancer research programs to academic institutions in Texas.
