Charlotte Geyer Foundation Funding Opportunity
Deadline: November 15
The Charlotte Geyer Foundation provides interim funding up to $100,000 to researchers who have submitted an original R01 or R21 proposal to the National Cancer Institute and have not received a fundable score.
The Charlotte Geyer Foundation supports research into the cause, prevention and treatment of cancer. The Foundation reviews proposals three times per year and awards grants up to $100,000 each. The Charlotte Geyer Foundation award is for a single resubmission. The award cannot run concurrently with other funding for the same project, therefore distribution of the award is made in increments throughout the granting period.
