NJCCR Research Grants and Fellowship Training Program
New Jersey Commission on Cancer Research, New Jersey Department of Health
The New Jersey Commission on Cancer Research funds cancer research in the state through investigator research grants, a Fellowship Training Program aimed at early-career researchers, and supplemental bridge grants for investigators between major awards. Funding comes from state appropriations, a designated line on the New Jersey individual income tax return, and proceeds from the Conquer Cancer specialty licence plate. Behavioural, survivorship and psychosocial cancer research falls within scope alongside laboratory science.
