https://obgyn.wustl.edu/research/spore-in-endometrial-cancer/cep-drp/call-for-proposals-in-endometrial-cancer-research/The goal of the Career Enhancement Program (CEP) is to recruit and support early career and established investigators in translational endometrial cancer research. The CEP builds upon existing productive collaborations between outstanding researchers with expertise in translational endometrial cancer at Washington University, University of New Mexico, and University of Oklahoma. We will further enhance these collaborations by providing funding support, didactic training, career development and mentoring to new investigators in the field.
The goals of the Route 66 Endometrial Cancer SPORE Developmental Research Program (DRP) are to support innovative, early-stage research in endometrial cancer, to develop pilot projects to the point of inclusion as full SPORE projects, to increase the number of investigators committed to endometrial cancer, and to diversify the workforce.
Award amounts are up to $50,000 for one year, with budget requests up to $75,000 considered with a unique scope of work and strong justification. Awards may be renewed for a second year contingent on adequate progress, availability of funds, and strategic priorities.
These applications will need to be routed in SoonerTrack and reviewed by ORA before submission.
