Description
The MOHCCN Clinician Scientist Awards will provide outstanding young clinician investigators with funding to support high-quality research in precision oncology. Valued at $525,000 and tenable for three years, the award aims to support young investigators as they develop their careers as independent clinician-scientists in close collaboration and mentorship with established MOHCCN-funded teams. The deadline for Letters of Intent is January 22, 2026.
Support under this Request for Applications (RFA) is targeted at high-quality, clinically-related research, providing information that may form the basis of innovative cancer prevention, diagnosis and/or treatment. In general research supported by these awards should include, but may not be limited to studies that develop new:
- – ways of generating therapeutically actionable biological cancer data
- – types of therapeutically actionable biological cancer data
- – tools to analyze existing rich, complex or large datasets, and
- – precision oncology trial design, conduct and analysis.
Applicants must be mentored by researcher(s) (clinician and/or scientist) currently associated with a MOHCCN-funded study. Special consideration will be afforded to applicants who include plans for inclusion of marginalized populations in their work.
