Early Stage Investigators

MERIT

NCI recognizes that Early Stage Investigators (ESI) face challenges

In addition to increased ESI payline NCI is announcing its new use of the MERIT Award in 2018

The award gives eligible investigators applying for first R01 the Method to opportunity to obtain up to seven years of grant funding (5+2)

Extend Research in Time This will provide critical time for ESIs to launch their careers and

R37 Award become more established before attempting renewal

Global Health Working Group

Sample questions

1 Balance of functions for CGH (representational vs research)

2 Portfolio analysis 3 How to set priorities for NCI given the

tremendous international burden of cancer

13

SBIR STTR Working Group

Sample questions

1 Are award sizes for the different phases of funding for SBIRSTTR appropriate

2 How to improve review 3 What resources in addition to funding should

SBIR provide 4 How to speed delivery of funds to small

companies

14

Informatics Working Group

bull Provide input into the role of the CBIIT director focusing particularly on whether the duties of a chief information officer should be separate

bull Advise on expanding funding opportunities for data science and bioinformatics research across the NCI research portfolio and building a cancer-focused data science and bioinformatics workforce

bull Provide guidance for improving data sharing to maximize the impact of cancer research on patients 15

Early Stage Investigators

MERIT

NCI recognizes that Early Stage Investigators (ESI) face challenges

In addition to increased ESI payline NCI is announcing its new use of the MERIT Award in 2018

The award gives eligible investigators applying for first R01 the Method to opportunity to obtain up to seven years of grant funding (5+2)

Extend Research in Time This will provide critical time for ESIs to launch their careers and

R37 Award become more established before attempting renewal
