Call for Research Proposals
October 2020
Dear researchers, clinicians, TAU faculty members,
During 2021, the Cancer Biology Research Center (CBRC) will award three Research Grants for an amount of 75,000 NIS each for a one year project. The Research Grants will support translational research relevant to the causes, mechanisms, diagnosis, treatments and prevention of cancer. Collaboration between basic and clinical research is an advantage. However, completely clinical applications, such as intervention studies, clinical trials or health care delivery research and many substantially clinical applications will not be considered. Similarly, basic research with no clinical horizon, e.g. clear translational aspects within 5 years or so from its completion, will not be considered as well.
We encourage the submission of proposals for high-risk/high-reward research that could ultimately lead to critical discoveries or major advancements that will drive the field of oncology research forward. The proposed research should be hypothesis-driven based on strong scientific rationale and should serve as a catalyst to expand or modify current thinking and/or approaches in cancer.
Please find more detailed information attached.
