Two New Funding OpportunitIes--DEADLINE EXTENDED
Annual Partnership RFA Deadline for Submission is February 18, 2011
The CCNY-MSKCC Partnership is an NCI funded cooperative agreement between The City College of New York and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. The NCI's goal for these partnerships is to develop a stronger national cancer research effort aimed at understanding the reasons behind cancer health disparities and their impact on racial, ethnic, and socio-economically disadvantaged populations. At this time, our partnership has funding available to support several cancer research projects. Projects may be in any area of basic, clinical, translational, prevention, control, behavioral, or population research, however special consideration will be given to projects focused on translational health disparities, ageing and cancer, HIV and issues related to cancer, and emerging technologies.
We have three levels of funding available: full projects, pilot projects, and pre-pilot projects.
| Project Type | Duration | Funding Level | Data | Research Plan | Deadline |
| FullProjects | Two Years | Up to $250,000/year | Pilot Data Required | 10 page maximum for research plan | February 11, 2011 |
| Pilot Projects | One or Two Years | Up to $120,000/year | N/A | 5 page maximum for research plan | February 11, 2011 |
| Pre-pilot Projects | One Year | Up to $50,000 | N/A | 5 page maximum for research plan | February 11, 2011 |
Please note:
- All projects must be conducted jointly by investigators at CCNY and MSKCC (i.e. must have a PI from each institution).
- As these are collaborative projects, the investigators must indicate how they will work together to achieve the aims of the project.
- Any faculty member who has not received R01 funding (or the equivalent) must include a Career Development and Mentorship Plan (please see full RFA announcement for details).

PCOP – Partnership Community Outreach Program RFA Deadline for Submission is February 18, 2011
The Partnership Community Outreach Program (PCOP) has the opportunity to support several small community-based research projects. The goal this funding opportunity is to foster and support collaborations between The City College of New York (CCNY), Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center (MSKCC), and key segments of the community in order to develop stronger cancer programs that are responsive to the needs of diverse populations. Community-based research is broadly defined as collaborative research with community-based organizations or service providers, research involving participants drawn from well-defined subpopulations, and/or the use of community-based participatory research methodology. Projects can include behavioral/social science and basic science research, but must specifically incorporate community-based partners and/or participants, and be conducted jointly by investigators from CCNY and MSKCC.We are currently offering support for pre-pilot projects. Please see full RFA announcement for details.
