CPRIT ARS - Current Funding Opportunities

Academic Research Programs

Award Mechanism	Documents and Forms
Core Facilities Support Awards - Supports applications that facilitate the development or improvement of core facilities that will provide valuable services to support and enhance scientifically meritorious cancer research projects. Funds may be requested to develop a new facility or to enhance the capabilities of an existing facility that will directly support and impact cancer research programs at the institution and in the region. CPRIT will look with special favor on applications that propose a facility that will serve cancer researchers at multiple Texas research institutions, in particular TREC-eligible institutions. Award: The maximum duration for this award mechanism is 5 years. Applicants may request up to a maximum of $3,000,000 in total costs.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants
Early Clinical Investigator Award - Solicits applications from institutions to provide cancer physicians early in their academic career the opportunity to develop clinical research skills and to gain experience in advanced methods and experimental approaches needed to become clinical investigators; to provide an opportunity to establish a partnership with a laboratory-based collaborator in order to design and conduct correlative studies needed to interpret the outcome of an interventional trial; to provide the protected time from clinical responsibilities required to develop and conduct investigator initiated clinical trials; and to increase the pool of clinical investigators at Texas academic institutions who are conducting patient-oriented studies, capitalizing on basic discoveries and translating them through conduct of innovative clinical trials involving cancer patients or individuals at risk for cancer. Award: Up to $1,000,000 (total costs) Maximum duration: 5 years.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants
High-Impact/High-Risk Research Awards - Supports applications that explore the feasibility of high-risk projects that, if successful, would contribute major new insights into the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of cancers. Using this mechanism, CPRIT intends to support innovative, developmental projects that focus on exceptionally promising topics that are not yet sufficiently mature to compete successfully for more conventional funding. The HIHR Research Awards are expected to provide the foundation for individual or multiple investigator peer-reviewed awards upon completion. The goal of this award mechanism is to fund uncommonly great ideas that merit the opportunity to acquire preliminary data. Award: Applicants may request a total of $250,000 for a period of up to 24 months.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants
TREC: Advancing Innovative Individual Research Awards at TREC-Eligible Institutions - Supports research projects addressing critically important questions, that will significantly advance knowledge of the causes, prevention, and/or treatment of cancer. This award allows experienced or early-career-stage cancer researchers the opportunity to explore new methods and approaches for investigating a question of importance that has been inadequately addressed or for which there may be an absence of an established paradigm or technical framework. Award: Applicants may request up to a maximum of $750,000 in total costs. Duration: 3 years.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants
TREC: Core Facilities Support Awards - Supports applications that facilitate the development or improvement of core facilities that will provide valuable services to support and enhance scientifically meritorious cancer research projects at TREC eligible institutions. Funds may be requested to develop a new facility or to enhance the capabilities of an existing facility that will directly support and impact cancer research programs at the institution and in the region. CPRIT will look with special favor on applications that propose a facility that will serve cancer researchers at multiple Texas research institutions, in particular TREC-eligible institutions. Award: The maximum duration for this award mechanism is 5 years. Applicants may request up to a maximum of $2,000,000 in total costs.	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
