NCI Pathway to Independence Award for Outstanding Early Stage Postdoctoral Researchers (K99/R00 Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed) This K99/R00 award is intended for individuals who require no more than 2 additional years of mentored research training and career development (K99 phase) before transitioning to the independent stage (R00 phase) of the program. Consequently, the strongest applicants will require, and will propose, a well-conceived plan for 1–2 years of substantive mentored research training and career development that will help them become competitive candidates for tenure-track faculty positions and prepare them to launch robust, independent research programs. Individuals must be in mentored, postdoctoral training positions to be eligible to apply to the K99/R00 program. If an applicant achieves independence (any faculty or non-mentored research position) before a K99 award is made, neither the K99, nor the R00 award, will be made. The K99/R00 award will provide up to 5 years of support in two phases. The initial (K99) phase will provide support for up to 2 years of mentored postdoctoral research training and career development. The second (R00) phase will provide up to 3 years of independent research support, which is contingent on satisfactory progress during the K99 phase and an approved, independent tenure-track (or equivalent) faculty position. The two award phases are intended to be continuous in time. Therefore, although exceptions may be possible in limited circumstances, R00 awards will generally only be made to those K99 PDs/PIs who accept independent, tenure-track (or equivalent) faculty positions by the end of the K99 award period. For this RFA, K99/R00 applicants must have no more than 2 years of postdoctoral research experience as of the application due date. Individuals must be in mentored, postdoctoral training positions to be eligible to apply to the K99/R00 program. If an applicant achieves independence (i.e., any faculty or non-mentored research position) before a K99 award is made, neither the K99 award, nor the R00 award, will be issued.

Postdoctoral Enrichment Program for Underrepresented Minorities The Postdoctoral Enrichment Program (PDEP) supports the care development activities for underrepresented minority postdoctoral fellows in a degree-granting institution (i.e. affiliated graduate and medical schools, hospitals and research institutions) in the United Stated or Canada whose training and professional development are guided by mentors committed to helping them advance to stellar careers in biomedical or medical research. Generally, up to 10 awards will be granted for enrichment activities annually. This grant is meant to supplement the training of postdocs whose research activities are already supported. It is not a research grant. The program provides a total of $60,000 over three years as follows: Year one: $20,000 will be granted to support enrichment activities of the postdoctoral fellow ($10,000 for research supplies or equipment uniquely required to enhance the postdoctoral fellow’s research and $10,000 for education and training, including for mentors in the research lab where the postdoctoral fellow is assigned.) The PDEP award cannot be used to support salary expenses or indirect costs. (Refer to Terms of Grant for information on indirect costs and other requirements for use of funds.); Year two: $20,000 (same allocation as year one); and Year three: $20,000 will be granted to help the postdoctoral fellow advance research efforts towards the professoriate. The funds must be used to develop independent, innovative areas of research	$60,000 over three years	January 16, 2018 (4:00 pm EST)	Burroughs Wellcome Fund	postdoc	minorities
Postdoctoral Fellowship The Hereditary Disease Foundation provides funding for research that advances the discovery and development of treatments for Huntington’s disease and other brain disorders. These postdoctoral fellowships are intended to cultivate interest in Huntington’s disease research by bring young scientists. Fellowships are grand o those who possess imagination, rigor, creativity and spirit to push forward towards a cure for HD and ensure that these discoveries can be applied to other brain diseases.

Prevent Cancer Foundation Fellowship The foundation supports research that demonstrates potential for impact on cancer prevention/early detection. The Foundation defines cancer prevention as the "reduction of cancer incidence through research, education and early detection." Fellowship proposals will be considered in the following categories: near-term application, clinical, translational and population-based research projects • Education programs in cancer prevention/early detection • Early detection projects • Behavioral intervention projects. An eligible proposal must demonstrate substantial potential for impact on prevention/early detection of cancer. The Prevent Cancer Foundation provides funds to create an environment in which young investigators who wish to pursue a career in cancer prevention/early detection will be optimally trained. Thus, requiring fellows to take one to two courses per year (for a grade) in an area in which the candidate has not received prior training. Fees may be included in budget. However, preference is given to applicants whose course fees are covered by their institution.	$50,000 per year, for two years	June 28, 2018 (11:59 PM EDT)	Prevent Cancer Foundation	postdoc	cancer prevention
Prevent Cancer Foundation Grant The foundation supports research that demonstrates potential for impact on cancer prevention/early detection. The Foundation defines cancer prevention as the "reduction of cancer incidence through research, education and early detection." Early career researchers at the instructor or assistant professor level • More-senior researchers who have shifted their area of interest toward primary and secondary cancer prevention/early detection • Researchers at any academic level who need seed funding to test an innovative hypothesis • researchers from a non-profit institutions (including academic institutions) are eligible to apply.
