Young Investigator Research Grants
Clinical Investigator Career Development Award - A three-year grant providing salary support, professional development, and research expenses to clinical researchers within five years of the completion of their postdoctoral training. Grantees must spend at least 35 percent of their time in independent clinical research and select an institutional mentor. Total award: $225,000
Postdoctoral Fellowship Grants - A two-year grant providing salary support, professional development, and research expenses to MD or PhD fellows with no more than 5 years of fellow/postdoctoral work. Clinical fellows must have completed at least 2 years of their fellowship. All applicants must spend at least 80 percent of their time in research and select and institutional sponsor. LRF’s intent is to fund multiple fellowship grants across lymphoma and CLL, with one award reserved for an exemplary project focusing on MCL. Total award: $105,000
Young Investigator Mentoring and Training Program
Lymphoma Clinical Research Mentoring Program (LCRMP) - The LCRMP offers mentoring and education to hematology/oncology fellows and junior faculty in the first four years post-fellowship, dedicated to clinical research in the field of lymphoma and CLL. Program participants, called LRF Scholars, attend and participate in a week long intensive introductory workshop and follow up programming where they will receive mentoring from experts in the field on how to successfully design and administer clinical research studies, and develop the professional skills to succeed as an independent researcher. This year’s LCRMP Workshop will take place March 5-9, 2019 in Scottsdale, AZ.
Accepted Scholars receive a $10,000 award to support travel to conferences, tuition, and/or other professional development expenses; travel to LCRMP programs is also covered by LRF.
