Damon Runyon Fellowship Award
CPI has partnered with Damon Runyon Research Foundation to promote research relevant to the development of molecular approaches (such as drugs and vaccines) for the prevention of inherited cancers. If an applicable proposal is selected by Damon Runyon’s award selection committee and approved by the Damon Runyon Board of Directors, CPI will co-fund the Fellowship Award.

Projects considered for funding by CPI are those that have the potential to make significant contributions to the development of chemo- or immuno-prevention measures that could reduce the risk of cancer in germline mutation carriers. Discovery research that could increase the understanding of early, pre-cancer stages are also considered. Visit the link below for more information on CPI’s funding priorities. https://www.cancerpreventioninitiative.org/apply-for-grants/funding-priorities/
We encourage postdoctoral researchers with novel and innovative ideas related to precision prevention of inherited cancer to take advantage of this opportunity. Please contact [email protected] with questions regarding the CPI-funded award.
CPI Research Grants to Prevent Inherited Cancer
Please visit again for information on future funding opportunities in this program. The information below is for reference only. There is no open grant application cycle for directly funded CPI research grants at this time.
We are excited to learn of your new ideas in precision prevention of inherited cancer.
The goal of CPI’s research grant program is to identify and provide seed funding for innovative projects that have the potential to make substantial contributions to the development of therapeutic interventions for the prevention of inherited cancers.
We welcome research ideas from all individuals irrespective of their background or professional roles. You need not be a principal investigator or a clinician to apply. If you have a new idea for a project rooted in scientific rationale and the potential to revolutionize cancer prevention, we encourage you to apply.
Our aim is to bridge funding gaps by considering projects that may not align with the conventional criteria of established funding agencies.
We firmly believe that prevention is better than treatment. Therefore, we are actively seeking to attract the best minds in the field of cancer research to join our efforts in cancer prevention research.
