NCI Cancer Moonshot Scholars Program Seeks to Diversify R01 Portfolio

The Cancer Moonshot Scholars program seeks to diversify the NCI R01 portfolio by enhancing the number of applications submitted by Early Stage Investigators from diverse backgrounds, including those from groups identified as underrepresented (NOT-OD-20-031) in the biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and social sciences research workforce. Proposed research must align with the NCI’s mission and may address any of the broad areas of cancer research, including (but not limited to) cancer biology, cancer prevention, cancer diagnosis, cancer treatment, and cancer control. Basic, translational, clinical, and/or population-based studies in all these research areas are appropriate. NCI expects to fund approximately 45 new R01s during the next 3 years. The program due dates are November 8, 2022, June 6, 2023, and February 6, 2024.
