The Center of Excellence in Environmental Toxicology (CEET) announces the following pilot project opportunities.
I. Mentored Scientist Transition Awards (MSTA):
For senior postdoctoral researchers, research associates or clinical fellows working in laboratories headed by CEET investigators who will conduct mentored research so that they will position themselves for a mentored transition award available from the NIEHS e.g. K99/00; or K03, K08 or other mechanism.
II. Opportunity Award in Environmental Health Sciences:
This award is open to any member of the standing faculty in the 12 professional schools at the University of Pennsylvania or our affiliates (Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, Monell and Wistar) with a relevant environmental science question. The project must be related to either environmental health or toxicology research or to the community outreach and engagement mission of the Center.
III. Focus Research Awards:
The Melanoma and Cutaneous Malignancies Program and the Cancer Control Program of the Abramson Cancer Center, with co-funding from CEET, are soliciting proposals for pilot studies in the areas of Cancer Control and Tobacco and Environmental Carcinogenesis with an emphasis on UV light exposure and skin cancers (melanoma, basal cell cancer and squamous cell skin cancer). Basic, clinical and population-based research focused on enhancing understanding of melanoma and skin cancer causation and environmental risk factors and on interventions to improve detection or prevention of skin cancer are encouraged.
Applications must be submitted for internal review by Wednesday, October 15 to webster@upenn.edu Successful applicants will be notified by November 15, 2014. Funding will have a start date of December 1, 2014.
