Overview
The R50 Research Specialist Award is geared towards encouraging exceptional scientists to develop career opportunities within the field of research. The prerequisite for this award is that applicants must be involved in an existing NCI-funded cancer research program in basic, translational, clinical, or population science. However, they should not be serving as independent investigators.
This unique opportunity is intended for non-tenure track scientists who are an integral part of their research programs. These individuals play a critical role in sustaining the biomedical research enterprise. Thus, the award is intended to support their ongoing work within the context of an existing NCI-funded cancer research program. It is important to note that only exceptional scientists who are not seeking to serve as independent investigators are considered competitive for this award.
