​Applications sought for awards in leukemia research

​Applications for the Specialized Program of Research Excellence (SPORE) in Leukemia Career Enhancement and Developmental Research Awards are being accepted through May 1.

The career enhancement award is aimed at junior faculty (instructors or assistant professors) without an R01 or equivalent grant, or senior postdoctoral fellows (PhD, MD or MD-PhD) who have a written commitment from their department heads indicating they will be promoted to instructor or assistant professor by the time of the award.

The developmental research award is aimed at all faculty members (instructor level or higher). Also eligible are senior postdoctoral fellows with written commitments from their department heads indicating they will be promoted to instructor or assistant professor by the time of the award. Preference will be given to junior faculty or established investigators with a new focus on translational leukemia research.

For more information and application requirements, visit this site or contact Amy Abrams, administrative coordinator, or Nancy Reidelberger, SPORE program administrator.
