The Cancer Center at Illinois (CCIL) and the Siteman Cancer Center (SCC) are soliciting interdisciplinary team research proposals to initiate new collaborations and enhance existing research collaborations among CCIL and SCC members. This CCIL/SCC Collaborative Research Grant Program aims to enable teams to formulate a hypothesis-driven or technology-focused translational cancer research project that relates to one of the following target topic areas:
- Imaging and interventions
- Advanced sensors for oncology
Proposed study objectives should be aligned with the above identified topic areas.
For more information, please view the Full CCIL/SCC Collaborative Research Grant Program RFP.
Eligibility
Projects must reflect shared stakeholder involvement and substantive collaboration of investigators from the CCIL and SCC scientific team members. Proposals should specifically address the identified translational interest areas above.
PI Requirements
Each project requires one Co-Principal Investigator (Co-PI) who is a current CCIL member and one Co-PI who is a current SCC member. The Co-PIs will assume the organizational and scientific leadership for each project. A researcher may only be PI on one submitted project. However, there is no limit to being a co-investigator on other projects.
