Accelerate breakthroughs in lifesaving research and empower people everywhere to conquer cancer.
The Conquer Cancer – Israel Cancer Research Fund (ICRF) Career Development Award (CDA) targets early-career Israeli clinical investigators who have recently received their initial faculty appointments. The goal is to enable these professionals to establish independent clinical cancer research programs in Israel. The grant supports all oncology subspecialties, emphasizing the development of clinical research projects within the country. To be eligible, applicants must be Israeli citizens, and the research must be conducted locally. This three-year grant, totaling $200,000 for the period of October 1, 2024, to September 30, 2027, aims to provide protected time for recipients to focus on their research projects and gain additional post-fellowship training, positioning them to become leaders in clinical research. It is specifically designed for individuals who are not yet conducting full-time research and do not have an established independent career in clinical research, thereby excluding already independent investigators and not intended for salary support or institutional funding.
