  *   Improving our understanding of lung cancer biology
  *   Prevention and screening for early detection
  *   Identification of new biomarkers and the development of targeted therapies
  *   Development of more effective and safer therapies
  *   Psychosocial research including supportive measures for people with lung cancer and their families
  *   Quality of care and outcomes research for the improvement of healthcare standards and overall patient outcomes

The Amgen Competitive Grant Program in Bone Research supports innovative research focused on improving the quality of osteoporosis care and patient outcomes. Specific areas of research eligible for funding through the program include longitudinal data describing long-term (5+ years) osteoporosis care relative to the diverse guidelines; effectiveness of post-fracture care programs demonstrated at a regional or global level (e.g., successfully implemented approaches and techniques, cost savings realized); delivery of optimal care for osteoporosis in the primary care setting (e.g., patient/physician dialogue, patient disease education, disease recognition); impact of osteoporosis on patient quality of life, including loss of independence; health system interventions to improve screening rates in high-risk osteoporosis patients; novel tools and approaches beyond bone-density scanning (dual X-ray absorptiometry) to identify high-risk osteoporosis patients; and solutions to improve patient adherence to their osteoporosis care regimen (e.g., ways to recognize and correct non-compliance).
$150,000 for 2-year projects; full institutional indirect applied.
Due June 28, 2019. Med-RA deadline to receive draft documents: June 10.

Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation Rachleff Innovation Award<https://urldefense.proofpoint.com/v2/url?u=https-3A__www.damonrunyon.org_for-2Dscientists_application-2Dguidelines_innovation&d=DwIGaQ&c=HPMtquzZjKY31rtkyGRFnQ&r=EXkFPz4CfHp2YvDR6s1e2OHGNt7ixTIGEDylKw2SIo1FQ8O9soOgOzmn5ZTHU62o&m=OnzDYsTZbAU4aOGpSwqbOpAHmlw7sN0HDqqP3Z5qm6M&s=4qyARBtVHylfp9nAS60RHfs6eh3FmSLURwNUSmmIMTk&e= >
This award is designed to provide support for the next generation of exceptionally creative thinkers with “high-risk/high-reward” ideas that have the potential to significantly impact our understanding of and/or approaches to the prevention, diagnosis or treatment of cancer. The Innovation Award is specifically designed to provide funding to extraordinary early career researchers who have an innovative new idea but lack sufficient preliminary data to obtain traditional funding. It is not designed to fund incremental advances. The research supported by the award must be novel, exceptionally creative and, if successful, have the strong potential for high impact in the cancer field.
$200,000 for 2-year projects, no IDC.
Stage 1 application due July 1, 2019. Med-RA deadline to receive draft documents: June 17.
