IUSCCC “Near-Miss” NIH R01 Initiative

The IU Simon Comprehensive Cancer Center (IUSCCC) offers funding for cancer-focused Principal Investigator (PI)-directed applications that have been reviewed once by the NIH and missed the funding payline. This initiative aims to increase the cancer-focused NIH funding base at the IUSCCC. Applications must have significant cancer relevance, and the initiative is open to Full & Associate Level IUSCCC Members. Applicants can receive up to $50K for R01, R42, and R44 grants, with P01 and SPORE amounts assessed individually. Submissions are on a rolling basis, with a requirement to submit a draft cover letter for approval before full application submission.
