American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant

Pilot funding for newly-independent investigators to initiate cancer research projects

IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center has pilot project funding available to assist new investigators who hold the rank of assistant professor, research assistant professor, or assistant scientist, but are without an active national competitive research grant, regardless of the topic.

These funds are from the American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant (ACS-IRG). This grant provides support for beginning investigators to enable them to initiate their independent research programs.

Recent awardees

The 2023 ACS-IRG awardees were:

* Joshua Huot, PhD: Identifying FKBP5 as a mediator of cancer cachexia

* Kirk Staschke, PhD: Targeting metabolic vulnerabilities in prostate cancer

* Angela Richardson, MD, PhD: Development of Novel Models of Leptomeningeal Metastases under Normoxia and Physioxia
