MCW CTSI Traditional Pilot Grants
(12) $50,000
Intent to Apply: 6/1/19
Application due: 8/1/19

This program is designed to advocate, facilitate, and foster the continuum of research from bench to bedside and from bedside to community practice. In a sense, translational research focuses on discovery and the application of scientific findings into a real-world setting. These awards are intended to stimulate inter-institutional and interdisciplinary translational and clinical research among the CTSI partner institutions. By supporting collaboration, these awards will promote best practices in team science research.

Association for Surgical Education (ASE) Grant Proposals
(TBD) $5,000
Due: 6/3/19

CESERT funds are intended to support excellence and innovation in surgical education research. The Foundation’s Board of Directors has outlined grant-making priorities that would most effectively advance the mission of the ASE and its Foundation. CESERT funding will be allocated to those priorities. Given the diversity of the surgical profession and its many specialties, grant categories are necessarily broad.

American Surgical Association Fellowship Research Award
$75,000
Due: 6/15/19

The purpose of the American Surgical Association Foundation Fellowship is to support and encourage gifted young surgeons who choose careers in investigation and academic surgery. Fellows will be supported in an initial year; the Fellowship can be renewed by review of the Fellowship Committee for a succeeding one-year period. During the Fellowship years, the Awardee should have a primary role in research and teaching. It is expected that the Fellow will have a faculty position following the Fellowship in the department of surgery of the sponsoring institution.

MCW AHW Call for Policy & Systems Changes for Improved Health
$1-1.5 million (funding 3-5 projects)

Abstract Alerts

American Thyroid Association
October 30-November 3, 2019, Chicago, IL
Abstract Deadline: 6/19/19

The American Thyroid Association (ATA) requests submission of abstracts for consideration at ATA scientific meetings to feature new data presented as posters or oral presentations. The ATA goal is to provide the audience and the media with new data that are unpublished (in print or electronic) which are being publicly presented for the first time. 

AACR Pancreatic Cancer: Advances in Science and Clinical Care
September 21-24, 2019, Boston, MA
Abstract Deadline: 7/1/2019

This will be the fifth AACR Special Conference on pancreatic cancer in the last decade. According to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, pancreatic cancer will account for approximately 43,000 deaths in 2017, and although it will account for just 3.2% of all new cancer cases, pancreatic cancer will account for 7.2% of all cancer deaths. Despite advances in recent years, the five-year survival rate is still just 8.2%, making pancreatic cancer one of the hardest-to-treat cancers.
