Faculty members with an interest in the psychosocial and behavioral aspects of cancer as well as in basic and clinical research are encouraged to apply.
Individual allocations are limited to a maximum of $20,000. The awards will be for the period of Jan. 1 through Dec 31, 2003. Deadline for applications is Oct. 15. Awards will be announced in mid-December.
