The University of Oklahoma (OU) received a $1,072,500 Project Grant award from the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) Biomedical Research and Research Training program (CFDA 93.859) to advance cancer research in Oklahoma. The award, titled "MENTORING TRANSLATIONAL CANCER RESEARCH IN OKLAHOMA," aims to support research projects, foster cross-disciplinary collaboration, and transition core facilities into institutional cancer research centers. During the grant's prior phases, OU research project leaders secured competitive federal and private grants, resulting in 246 publications that benefited from COBRE-funded resources. For Phase III, the grant seeks to build on this success by enhancing core facilities, mentoring graduated researchers, and innovating through a pilot grants program, further advancing cancer research and moving toward the designation of a Comprehensive Cancer Center.
