CPRIT ARS - Current Funding Opportunities

Academic Research Programs

Award Mechanism	Documents and Forms
Texas CONNECT for Cancer Prevention Study Awards - Solicits applications from institutions to establish a Texas CONNECT for Cancer Prevention Study of 25,000-30,000 adults in collaboration with the NCI CONNECT Study. This prospective study will address priorities in cancer prevention, early detection, and etiology research, which include emerging exposures, novel biomarkers, genomics; cutting-edge methodology and diverse and special populations. The CONNECT Study has the long-term potential to identify social, environmental, and behavioral, and genetic factors that underlie cancer risk among Texans. Award: Up to $7.5 million over a period of 5 years.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants
TREC Institutional Postdoctoral Training Award - Solicits applications from TREC-eligible institutions to support training and the conduct of research and, ultimately, the retention as faculty of outstanding post-doctoral students recognized by their institutions for their high potential and strong interest in pursuing careers as independent cancer researchers. Award: Total of $850,000 over a period of 3 years.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants
TREC Major Instrumentation Award - Solicits applications from TREC-eligible institutions to enhance research capacity by supporting the purchase of major instrumentation for one or more Core Facilities that will support multiple cancer researchers. Award: Total of $1 million over a period of 2 years.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants
TREC Pilot Study Award - Provides short-term funding to explore the feasibility of cancer research projects at TREC-eligible institutions that, if successful, would contribute new insights into the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of cancers forming the basis for applications for peer-reviewed funding from CPRIT or other organizations. Award: Total of $200,000 over a period of 2 years.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants
Individual Investigator Research Awards - Supports applications for innovative research projects addressing critically important questions that will significantly advance knowledge of the causes, prevention, and/or treatment of cancer. Areas of interest include laboratory research, translational studies, and/or clinical investigations. Competitive renewal applications accepted. Award: Up to $350,000 per year. Exceptions permitted if extremely well justified; maximum duration: 3 years.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants
Individual Investigator Research Awards for Cancer in Children and Adolescents - Supports applications for innovative research projects addressing questions that will advance knowledge of the causes, prevention, progression, detection, or treatment of cancer in children and adolescents. Laboratory, clinical, or population-based studies are all acceptable. CPRIT expects the outcome of the research to reduce the incidence, morbidity, or mortality from cancer in children and/or adolescents in the near or long term. Competitive renewal applications accepted. Award: Up to $350,000 per year. Applicants that plan on conducting a clinical trial as part of the project may request up to $500,000 in total costs. Exceptions permitted if extremely well justified; maximum duration: 4 years.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants
Individual Investigator Research Awards for Clinical Translation - Supports applications that propose innovative cancer clinical studies that are hypothesis driven and involve patients enrolled prospectively on a clinical trial. Areas of interest include clinical studies of new or repurposed drugs, hormonal therapies, immune therapies, surgery, radiation therapy, stem cell transplantation, combinations of interventions, or therapeutic devices. Clinical trial must be planned to begin when contract is awarded. Award: Up to $500,000 per year. Maximum duration: 4 years. Exceptions permitted if extremely well justified.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants
Individual Investigator Research Awards for Computational Systems Biology of Cancer - Supports applications for innovative mathematical and/or computational research projects addressing questions that will advance current knowledge in the (a) mechanisms that tie altered gene expression and downstream molecular mechanisms to functional cancer phenotypes and/or (b) mechanisms that tie tumor morphology to functional cancer phenotypes and/or mechanisms that tie treatment sequence and combination to evolving functional cancer phenotypes (that emerge as a result of treatment selection). Award: Up to $400,000 in total costs per year for up to 3 years. Exceptions permitted if extremely well justified.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants
Individual Investigator Research Awards for Prevention and Early Detection - Supports applications which propose clinical and population-based projects designed to develop effective prevention and early detection interventions to reduce cancer risk, mortality, and morbidity among Texans. Projects that propose such research collaborations with existing CPRIT Prevention Program awardees including the CPRIT funded Texas Collaborative Center for Hepatocellular Cancer (https://www.bcm.edu/research/labs-and-centers/research-centers/texas-collaborative-center-for-hepatocellular-cancer) are strongly encouraged. Award: Up to $400,000 per year. Exceptions permitted if extremely well justified; maximum duration: 5 years.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants
