The National Institutes of Health (NIH) is planning to publish a Notice of Funding Opportunity for the NCI Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) Academic Career Excellence (ACE) Award (K32), which will support early postdoctoral fellows in cancer research. This grant program aims to enhance the pool of qualified individuals from diverse backgrounds for careers in health-related research, particularly in cancer, by providing research training opportunities that do not require preliminary data. The program is significant for addressing cancer health disparities and enriching the scientific research experience for trainees transitioning from pre-doctoral to post-doctoral training. Interested applicants must identify a postdoctoral research mentor and submit their applications through their respective institutions, with the application deadline set for June 12, 2025, and an estimated award date of March 2, 2026.
