This NCI Exploratory Grant Award is designed to significantly enhance the diversity of the cancer research workforce. Its primary purpose is to recruit, support, and foster the careers of eligible junior and Early Stage Investigators who come from groups nationally underrepresented across the biomedical, behavioral, clinical, and social sciences. By doing so, the grant aims to create a more inclusive and representative pool of talent within cancer research. Additionally, this funding provides a vital transitional bridge for investigators completing their research training, offering them the necessary time and resources to develop robust, larger-scale research project grant applications. This strategic support is crucial for building a sustainable and diverse pipeline of future cancer researchers, ensuring innovative perspectives.
