Norris Cotton Cancer Center's scientific investigations are organized into six National Cancer Institute-reviewed Research Programs:

Research also is conducted through nationally funded Specialized Research Centers, which serve as regional or national resources for collaboration within Dartmouth and with other institutions to further cancer science in cutting-edge areas including Nanotechnology and Comparative Effectiveness Research in Cancer Imaging. The latter is supported by the interprogrammatic Office for Cancer Comparative Effectiveness Research.

Request for Applications: The SYNERGY Pilot Grant Program

The SYNERGY Pilot Grant Program seeks innovative, inter-disciplinary research pilot project proposals that have clear potential for translation into patient-oriented care and population health.

Grants are available for projects that are at an early stage and need support to create pilot data and/or to develop research concepts that will advance: (1) methodology and technology innovation for translational research; (2) claims-based translational research; or (3) community-based translational research. Successful proposals must have a high chance of leading to extramurally funded research. A total of up to $300,000 will be used to fund SYNERGY Pilot Projects in 2012 with individual pilot awards amounts of up to $100,000 and for a maximum duration of up to 24 months. The number of grants awarded under this RFA will depend on the nature and quality of applications received.

Eligibility: Early- to mid-career investigators pursuing community-based pilot studies in clinical and translational research at Dartmouth College, Dartmouth Medical School. Thayer School of Engineering, Tuck School of Business, and Dartmouth-Hitchcock and its affiliated sites, including the White River Junction VA Medical Center and the Manchester VA Medical Center, are eligible to apply.

Deadlines: Letter of Intent, February 27 | Final submission: April 2, 2012
