Academic Research Programs

Award Mechanism	Documents and Forms
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. Award: Up to $300,000 per year for a 3-year period.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants Opens 2-18-25
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. Award: Up to $300,000 per year for a period of up to 4 years.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants Opens 2-18-25
Individual Investigator Research Awards for Clinical Trials - Supports applications that propose innovative cancer clinical studies in adults or children and adolescents 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 $400,000 per year for a period of up to 4 years.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants Opens 2-18-25
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 $350,000 per year for a period of up to 3 years.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants Opens 2-18-25
Individual Investigator Research Awards for Early-Onset Cancers - Supports innovative research projects that will significantly advance the knowledge of the etiology, prevention, cancer biology, and treatment of early-onset cancers. Award: Up to $300,000 per year for a 3-year period.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants Opens 2-18-25
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 $300,000 per year for a period of up to 4 years.	Request for Application (RFA) Instructions for Applicants Opens 2-18-25
