Funding

Overview

The Starr Cancer Consortium is intended largely to support critical mass, collaborative projects with the potential for transforming impact on the understanding and treatment of cancer, through the development and systematic application of molecular technologies.

 
The goal of the Starr Cancer Consortium is to support transformative collaborative research. The research areas include but are not limited to Technology Development, Disease Applications and Basic Biology.

  • Technology Development. To drive the development of technology for molecular characterization of cancer through collaborative research among the participating institutions of the Starr Cancer Consortium.
  • Disease Applications. To apply new molecular technologies in collaborative projects directed at diverse cancers, in the process gaining a deeper understanding of the molecular basis of these cancers and defining new paradigms for cancer research, diagnosis and treatment.
  • Basic Biology. To accelerate collaborative research of the basic biological mechanisms underlying the development of cancers.
The Starr Cancer Consortium seeks proposals for funding through a Request for Applications (RFA) mechanism.
