Mentored Research Scholar Grant in Applied and Clinical Research
Provides support for mentored research and training to full-time junior faculty, typically within the initial four years of their first independent appointment. The goal is for these beginning investigators to become independent researchers as either clinician scientists or cancer control and prevention researchers. Awards are for up to five years and for up to $135,000 per year (direct costs), plus 8% allowable indirect costs. A maximum of $10,000 per year for the mentor(s) (regardless of the number of mentors) is included in the $135,000.
ANNOUNCEMENT OF APPLICATION FORMAT CHANGES
Beginning with the October 15, 2011 submission deadline, the American Cancer Society is modifying the application format for both the Research Scholar Grants (RSG) and Mentored Research Scholar Grants (MRSG). The new formats will reflect the new, 12 page R01 format instituted by the NIH several years ago. Page limits, formatting, etc will follow the NIH style. The one exception is that an optional 3 page section will be available for applicants to expand on research methods if they deem it valuable to the understanding of their project. This is not a mandatory section. For applicants from previous application cycles who wish to resubmit a modified grant for future cycles, they are allowed to use the previous application format. It is not required that they do so, but that option will be available. More detailed description of the changes are in the new Policies and Instructions document.
