V Foundation Adult Translational Cancer Research Award 2025

No Applicants // Limit: 2 (1 Translational nominee, 1 All-Star Translational nominee) // Tickets Available: 2 

The University of Arizona Cancer Center (UACC) can nominate up to two proposals: one Translational nominee and one All-Star Translational nominee (if eligible) for the V Foundation Adult Translational Cancer Research Award 2025. 

For more information please contact: UACC-PreAward.

Purpose of Award:

The UACC is seeking nominations for the Translational Adult Cancer Research Grant which advances basic laboratory discoveries towards clinical use, ultimately improving human health and is restricted to adult cancer research.

This Translational grant is restricted to adult cancer research in the preclinical or translational space with a focus on bench-to-bedside strategies. Research on ANY adult cancer type can be funded. Applicants may propose cancer research that moves a novel strategy from the laboratory into a human clinical trial or uses specimens from a clinical trial to test hypotheses, develop biomarkers, or mechanisms. The research must apply in a direct way to human beings within 3 years from the end of the grant. If biomarker research is undertaken, a validation set or independent clinical trial is essential. A plan for biomarker validation, if applicable, must be included in any proposal. The endpoint of the project should be the planning or initiation of a new clinical trial or conducting an investigator-initiated trial with laboratory correlates that test hypotheses. Research areas not included in this scope are epidemiology, behavioral science, and health services research.

NSF 25-521: Materials Innovation Platforms (MIP)

Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 0
Q. Hao (Aerospace & Mechanical Engineering) 

Eligibility 
One (1) per organization as lead institution.

The institutions that were awarded a MIP in the 2019 competition as the lead institution are not eligible to submit a MIP proposal as a lead institution in the 2025 competition.

Synopsis
Materials Innovation Platforms (MIP) is a mid-scale infrastructure program in the Division of Materials Research (DMR) designed to accelerate advances in materials research. MIPs respond to the increasing complexity of materials research that requires close collaboration of interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary teams and access to cutting edge tools. These tools in a user facility benefit both a user program and in-house research, which focus on addressing grand challenges of fundamental science and meet national needs. MIPs embrace the paradigm set forth by the Materials Genome Initiative (MGI), which strives to “discover, manufacture, and deploy advanced materials twice as fast, at a fraction of the cost,” and conduct research through iterative “closed-loop” efforts among the areas of materials synthesis/processing, materials characterization, and theory/modeling/simulation. In addition, they are expected to engage the emerging field of data science in materials research. Each MIP is a scientific ecosystem, which includes in-house research scientists, external users and other scientists who, collectively, form a community of practitioners and share tools, codes, samples, data and know-how. The knowledge sharing is designed to strengthen collaborations among scientists and enable them to work in new ways, fostering new modalities of research and training, for the purpose of accelerating discovery and development of new materials and novel materials phenomena/properties, as well as fostering their eventual deployment.

The scientific focus of the MIP program is subject to change from competition to competition. Information about the existing MIPs, from two previous competitions in 2015 and 2019, can be found at mip.org. The third MIP competition, in 2025, will accept proposals on alloys, amorphous, and composite materials. Given that the second MIP competition included an emphasis on biomaterials and polymer research, proposals mainly on these topics will not be considered in the third MIP competition.

HRSA-25-069 - Addiction Medicine Fellowship Program

Limit: 1 // Tickets Available: 0 

E. Gumm (Psychiatry - COM-T)

Application Limits
You may not submit more than one application. If you submit more than one
application, we will only accept the last on-time submission.|

If an entity applies as part of a consortium, the entity is not eligible to submit a
separate, stand-alone application.


Purpose
The purpose of the Addiction Medicine Fellowship (AMF) program is to expand the
number of fellows at accredited AMF and Addiction Psychiatry Fellowship (APF)
programs trained as addiction medicine specialists who practice in medically
underserved, community-based settings that integrate primary care with mental health
disorder and substance use disorder (SUD) prevention and treatment services. The
fellowship must include training in prevention and treatment services in medically
underserved, community-based settings, including in rural areas, that do not have
access or have limited access to SUD treatment. The program includes training for both
addiction medicine and/or addiction psychiatry fellows. Its goal is to increase the
number of physicians who are board-certified specialists in addiction medicine or
addiction psychiatry who will serve in medically underserved community-based
settings, including in rural areas, once trained. The program supports training to:
 

  • Increase the number of fellows trained to practice addiction medicine and
    addiction psychiatry in rural and other medically underserved community-based
    settings.
  • Establish partnerships with clinical rotation sites in rural or other underserved
    areas, that focus on the integration of primary care with mental health and SUD
    prevention and treatment services.
  • Increase fellows’ knowledge and ability to assist their patients with referrals to
    navigate the legal and social systems related to patients’ clinical or care needs.
  • Increase awareness of the specialty and reduce provider stigma to increase the
    number of physicians interested in pursuing careers in addiction medicine and
    addiction psychiatry through the provision of clinical rotations that expose
    medical residents to practice in these specialties and through education and
    consultation.
