Description:

The Cancer Research Institute (CRI) is launching a clinical trials program to support innovative clinical studies from clinicians and academic researchers with the goal of advancing immunotherapies that will provide the greatest impact on patient outcomes. CRI will prioritize selection of trials that address areas of high unmet need in cancer and seek mechanistic insights using deep correlative studies. To maximize the impact of each clinical trial, CRI will advise on selected studies to coordinate and optimize clinical trial design and translational studies.

Eligibility:

  • Candidates for a clinical trial grant must be the Principal Investigator (PI) of the proposed study.
  • CRI has no citizenship restrictions, and research supported by the award may be conducted at medical schools or research centers in the United States or abroad.
  • Please note that CRI does not support research at for-profit institutions.
