- The National Cancer Institute (NCI) awarded a $159,450 Project Grant under the Cancer Research Manpower (CFDA 93.398) program to Wayne State University to support the "NextGen Oncology Scholars: Nurturing Tomorrow's Pioneers" program. This 5-year grant, beginning August 15, 2025 and ending July 31, 2030, aims to cultivate the next generation of cancer researchers by providing undergraduate students with hands-on research experiences, didactic training, clinical exposure, and structured...
- The University of Pittsburgh was awarded a $408,829 Project Grant from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.396 Cancer Biology Research) to develop an "Integrative Framework for Surface Protein Imputation for Spatial Biology of Cancer". The goal of the project is to increase the utility of spatial transcriptomics datasets by imputing surface protein abundance through incorporating spatial and histological dependencies, and simultaneously learning the RNA-protein mapping relation from...
- This Project Grant award of $109,076 from the National Cancer Institute's Cancer Research Manpower program (CFDA 93.398) supports research to identify patterns of gene deletions in metastatic breast cancer. The award, which runs from January 21, 2026 to July 31, 2029, aims to leverage machine learning techniques and comprehensive autopsy data to create a detailed landscape of genomic evolution in late-stage metastatic disease. The research, conducted by the University of Pittsburgh, seeks to...
- The National Cancer Institute awarded a $324,000 Project Grant to The Medical College of Wisconsin, Inc. under the Cancer Research Manpower (CFDA 93.398) program. The goal of this 5-year grant, awarded on August 7, 2025, is to collaborate with community partners to identify and educate a group of undergraduate students (SPARCC Scholars) from surrounding Milwaukee-area institutions who wish to develop careers in biomedical, behavioral, and clinical cancer research. The program will provide SPARCC...
This federal Project Grant award from the National Cancer Institute (CFDA 93.398 - Cancer Research Manpower) provides $169,982.00 to the University of Pittsburgh to implement the Program in Cancer Training and Education (PICTE). PICTE will select 10 rising sophomore and junior students to participate in an intensive 10-week full-time summer research program, followed by a part-time extension through the fall term, totaling the equivalent of 15 weeks. The students will perform hands-on cancer research under the mentorship of dedicated faculty in the Department of Biological Sciences or Chemistry. In addition to the research experience, the program will provide professional development activities including journal clubs, discussions on research rigor and reproducibility, and training on scientific writing and presentation skills. Weekly visits to the UPMC Hillman Cancer Center will also be a centerpiece of the program, allowing participants to interact with basic researchers and physician-scientists. The goal is to provide in-depth training to prepare the next generation of cancer researchers and advance fundamental understanding of cancer.
