Funding Opportunities

The Kansas Masonic Cancer Research Institute (KMCRI) funds eight pilot projects per year (four in Fall and four in the Spring) and one excellence in research pilot projects in the fall. All University of Kansas Cancer Center members are encouraged to apply. Pilot projects provide initial funding ($35,000 per project) for cancer-specific projects that contain a translational component that prepares the investigator and their team to seek long-term grant funding from the National Cancer Institute.

Applications for the 2008 Spring Pilot Project Funding grant cycle will open in February 2008. Applications must have a minimum of two principle investigators, one of which must be a Full KUCC member.
