CureSearch Young Investigator International Award in Pediatric Cancer Drug Development

CureSearch for Children's Cancer

Our Young Investigator program provides seed support for bright researchers, early in their careers, who are pursuing exciting and novel research in pediatric oncology. Young Investigator Award Funding provides up to $75,000 per year for up to three years.

Overview 

CureSearch for Children’s Cancer supports the recruitment of promising early-career scientists to a research career in pediatric oncology. Early career investigators are the most vulnerable to the shortfalls in federal research funding. The CureSearch Young Investigator program helps early career scientists begin their research programs and provides a pathway to independence. Since 2012, CureSearch has invested over $5.7M in Young Investigator awards to 31 grantees in research areas with high-risk and poor outcomes for children and adolescents and young adults with cancer: relapsed and high-risk ALL, AML, brain tumors, Ewing sarcoma, hepatoblastoma, neuroblastoma, lymphoma, rhabdoid tumors, rhabdomyosarcoma, malignant peripheral nerve sheath tumor, head and neck cancer, germ cell tumor, atypical teratoid and rhabdoid tumors, and Wilms tumor. 

CureSearch’s mission is to drive innovative research to clinical impact to accelerate the delivery of novel therapeutics to pediatric cancer patients. A key component of this mission is to ultimately drive outstanding translational and preclinical research to clinical trials and beyond towards commercialization. The 2025 Young Investigator Program is designed to provide support and training for exceptional young investigators in pediatric oncology drug development. The award is intended for investigators who have completed post-doctoral training and are transitioning to a full-time academic position.

 

Applicants will be reviewed based on the following criteria: 

• The applicant’s previous productivity, research environment, and ongoing mentorship during the transition to independence. 

• Extent to which the proposed research has potential for pediatric drug development. Research studies leading to target and drug discovery and preclinical testing of new therapies will be given priority. Proposals will be reviewed for scientific merit by CureSearch’s Scientific Review Committee and prioritized according to the 2025 funding priorities noted in this RFA by the Scientific Advisory Council. 

• Continued support for second- and third-year funding is contingent upon a noncompetitive review and demonstration of satisfactory completion of proposed research objectives and meeting the following expectations: 

o Submission of progress reports and completion of stated milestones, unless modified based on the direction of research. 

o If applicable, attendance and participation in the annual CureSearch Summit, a travel stipend to be provided by CureSearch. 

o Participation in CureSearch volunteer leadership activities, including yearly scientific review.

Research shows that diverse teams working together and capitalizing on innovative ideas and distinct perspectives outperform homogenous teams. Scientists and trainees from diverse backgrounds and life experiences bring different perspectives, creativity, and individual enterprise to address complex scientific problems. The following racial and ethnic groups have been shown to be underrepresented in biomedical research: Black or African American, Hispanic or Latino/a American, or American Indian or Alaska Native. In addition, it is recognized that underrepresentation can vary from setting to setting. CureSearch encourages applicants from diverse populations to enhance the participation of researchers identified as nationally underrepresented in the biomedical and clinical sciences.
