Institutional Support
American Cancer Society (ACS) Institutional Grants
Funds for seed money grants are available from our ACS Institutional Grant. Applications for 2009 are accepted until January 31, 2009 and reviewed for funding priority by the local ACS/IRG Review Committee at Norris Cotton Cancer Center. The principal purpose of these grants is to support studies undertaken by investigators who are early in their careers and need pilot data before submitting individual research grant applications.
Cancer Center Developmental Funds (Prouty Pilot Projects)
Pilot projects are funded though Cancer Center Developmental Funds that advance meritorious cancer research and collaborative interactions. The purpose of developmental funds is to support preliminary studies that pursue novel approaches, build new interdisciplinary collaborations, and provide preliminary data necessary for proposed grant applications.

Pre-applications are required and must be submitted through the CDMRP eReceipt website, <https://cdmrp.org>, prior to proposal submission to Grants.gov.
New for 2008 - In order to clarify the CDMRP Program Announcements and proposal submission process, CDMRP has divided these documents into the following:
- Program Announcement - contains all program information, scientific proposal components, and peer review criteria.
- Application Instructions - contains instructions and detailed information on all pre-application and proposal requirements, including directions for Grants.gov submissions. This document also contains Regulatory Requirements and Award Administration information.
Each Application Instruction document will only apply to the specific award mechanism listed; however this document is intended to be utilized in conjunction with the PA.
