ICI grants are restricted awards that support investigator-initiated projects for up to 2 years. Two-year grant submissions should include mid-grant milestones (at approximately 12-months) for the purpose of evaluating progress toward overall project goals. These milestones must be achieved in order to qualify for the second year of funding. In addition, all projects are evaluated for their potential clinical impact.
Applications must be submitted by a team that includes at least one cancer researcher working in partnership with a bioinformatician, computational biologist, or computer scientist either or both of whom should be junior faculty, postdoctoral investigators, or doctoral candidates at an NCI-designated Cancer Center, Comprehensive Cancer Center, Basic Laboratory Cancer Center, or their associated educational institutions.
