Research Scholar Grants
Grant Overview
Research Scholar Grants (RSG) provide support for independent, self-directed researchers.?
Applicants' institutions must provide space and other resources customary for independent investigators.
Grant proposals are investigator-initiated and may pursue questions across the cancer research continuum, as long as they fit within an American Cancer Society (ÎÚÑ»´«Ã½) priority research area.
