DF/HCC Incubator Award RFA Period Opens
September 19, 2023
We are pleased to announce a new round of internal funding for the DF/HCC Incubator Award Program. We are proud to partner again this year with the Ludwig Center at HMS and the Bertarelli Rare Cancers Fund at HMS to fund collaborative projects in all areas of cancer research. Research teams will be funded at levels up to $250,000 per year for up to two years.

Pre-submission Information Session
A virtual information session will be held on Tuesday, September 26, 2023 from 11:45am - 12:30pm (Zoom link - this session will be recorded). Potential applicants are encouraged to attend.
Due Dates
- Letter of Intent: Monday, October 16, 2023
- Full application: Monday, November 6, 2023
- Notification of awardees: Early December, 2023
An important feature of this mechanism is the desire to sustain funding beyond the two-year period of DF/HCC Incubator Awards. Therefore, one criterion for evaluating applications will be the degree to which research teams demonstrate the commitment and readiness to submit competitive applications for extra-mural Program Project, SPORE, multi-investigator R01, Stand Up 2 Cancer, CRUK Grand Challenge, and other funding opportunities for team cancer science. DF/HCC will assist materially in mentoring Incubator awardees and in preparing their applications for extra-mural grants.
