This seed grant program is intended to support junior faculty in initiating cancer research projects, so they can generate preliminary results that will allow them to compete successfully for national funding.&nbsp;<b>Eligible investigators include those within six years of their first independent faculty appointment who do not currently hold research grant support from national funding agencies.<\/b><\/p>\n<p>&quot;I strongly encourage junior faculty with a focus in cancer research to submit a proposal for this seed grant funding,&quot; said Kenneth Cowan, MD, PhD, director and physician-in-chief of the Fred &amp; Pamela Buffett Cancer Center. &quot;The Buffett Cancer Center is fortunate to partner with the American Cancer Society on this initiative, which provides junior faculty the opportunity to bring their unique ideas to the laboratory.&quot;<\/p>\n<p>Proposals must be prepared using&nbsp;an application&nbsp;template provided&nbsp;and emailed as a single, complete
