BC Environmental and Occupational Health Research Network

Research may be laboratory or clinic based, but the results and conclusions must be clearly relevant to the treatment, diagnosis or prevention of Hodgkin and/or non-Hodgkinlymphoma. Areas of research may include, but are not limited to, etiology, immunology, genetics, therapies, and transplantation.

The purpose of the Lymphoma Research Foundation’s (LRF’s) 3-year Clinical Investigator Career Development Grant is to fund training of clinicians who will participate in developing new therapeutics and diagnostic tools for lymphoma. Clinicians with up to 5 years of experience after their first full time faculty appointment post fellowship are eligible.

These two-year fellowships help attract the nation’s best scientific talent to careers in lymphoma and allow them to pursue promising leads under the guidance of a Sponsor. Applicants must be affiliated with an institution in the U.S. or Canada. Up to 10 fellowships may be awarded, each at $50,000 in year one, and $55,000 in year two.

This three-year program (now with recently expanded eligibility) funds training of clinicians who will participate in developing new therapeutics and diagnostic tools for lymphoma. Clinicians will be trained to design and administer clinical studies and to take on primary responsibility for trial design, protocol development, IRB submission, and publication. A Career Development Plan and the commitment of a mentor are required as part of the grant application. Up to three CDAs will be awarded, each at a maximum of $75,000 per year for three years. Applicants must be licensed in the U.S. or Canada.
