Partnership
The geographic proximity and large Hispanic populations in Florida and Puerto Rico have driven the formation of an academic partnership between the Ponce School of Medicine and Moffitt Cancer Center. The complementary expertise at both institutions provides a synergistic means of studying the cancer problem in Puerto Ricans, and in the Hispanic population in general. Effective working relationships between the leadership and investigators from both institutions are focused on four target areas: basic research; cancer education and training; outreach; and tissue procurement.
Funding Opportunity
The PSM-MCC U56 is pleased to announce a request for applications for collaborative pilot projects. A pilot project must be submitted as a partnership between a faculty member from the Ponce School of Medicine (PSM) and the Moffitt Cancer Center (MCC). This will be accomplished by submitting two separate applications, one from the PSM faculty member and one from the MCC faculty member to their respective institution's U56 Program Manager. Applicants may request $45,000 per year per institution for a period of two years. Interested investigators should click here for more information and application materials.
