LLSC Physician Scientist Fellow Award

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada

The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada (LLSC) is Canada's largest voluntary health organization dedicated to funding blood cancer research, education and patient services. The mission of LLSC is to cure all forms of blood cancer and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Since its founding in 1955, LLSC has invested millions of dollars for research specifically targeting blood cancers and continues to fund innovative research to advance more breakthrough therapies.
 

To this end, LLSC also supports community service programs, advocacy, and public and professional education.
 

LLSC supports research through the Physician Scientist Fellow Award grant program.
 

The intent of the Physician Scientist Fellow Award is to encourage early-stage specialist Physicians to pursue a career in blood cancer research. The award is specifically targeted at MDs near, or recently at, the completion of specialty training in hematology, oncology, hematopathology, pathology, or other related disciplines and who have initiated or have immediate plans to begin supervised research training directed at blood cancers.
This opportunity is designed to foster, through provision of a contribution to their salary, the acquisition of skills and independence to conduct research in blood cancers at the basic laboratory, preclinical, clinical or combined levels.
 

This grant is for salary only. Funding up to a maximum of $85,000 per year for two years is available (up to a maximum total of $170,000 for the two years). Grant funding will be made in two annual payments.
The objective of this funding opportunity is to build research capacity encouraging early-stage Physician scientists to pursue a career in blood cancer research by supporting a new clinical researcher in initiating and conducting research at the basic laboratory, preclinical, and/or clinical level.
Funds for competitive applications will be awarded on the basis of scientific merit, using a priority rating, and will include evaluation of ethical research. The Scientific Review Panel (SRP) will review all applications.

Sponsorship
 

All Physician Scientist Fellow Award applicants must have a Sponsor who provides mentorship, an appropriate research environment and research funds for the proposed project.
 

For your application to be eligible for consideration the sponsor must:

be the head of the laboratory in which the applicant is performing, or will be performing, the proposed research;

demonstrate adequate space and resources are available for the duration of the award;

must have active grant(s) (peer-reviewed, national level) to support the research proposed in the application. The presence of funding will be assessed at the eligibility phase, while the details of the blood cancer relevance of that funding will be assessed after full application submission. Research support that ends prior to the Award start date will not be used as evidence of adequate support.
 

Applicants may have a co-sponsor who will serve as second mentor to their research project and career. A co-sponsor is necessary in cases where the applicant’s Sponsor does not have the required expertise in blood cancer. Conversely, the co-Sponsor may provide basic scientific or technical expertise to an applicant who’s Sponsor does not have that expertise. The review panel will look most favorably on the applicant’s with the most qualified mentorship, whether that be from a single Sponsor or a Sponsor/co-Sponsor pair.
 

The role of the co-Sponsor is not to provide research funding. If the primary sponsor does not have adequate research funding, the applicant is not eligible.

Definitions
 

“Co-principal investigator" or "co- principal applicant" refers to a researcher who will be in charge of specific administrative and scientific aspects of the research project, whether or not that researcher has a formal relationship with the Host Institution. Adjunct professors and appointments that are for status only can fall under these categories. Graduate students, postdoctoral fellows, research associates, technical support employees, and investigators working outside of Canada are not included under these categories. These individuals are not eligible to receive grant-funded salary support.
 

A “collaborator” or “co-investigator” refers to individuals who will make substantial intellectual contributions to the research project or have contributed to the drafting of the application itself, but who are not eligible to be included as “Co-Principal Investigators” or “Co-applicants”. Students, postdoctoral fellows, research associates, lay contributors (including patient partners) and investigators based outside of Canada may be included in this category. Students, post-doctoral fellows and research associates may receive salary support from a grant.

Individuals who have been affected by cancer are considered patient/survivor/caregiver participants/partners. This category may include anyone who is at high risk of cancer, has been diagnosed with cancer, or provides physical and emotional care to someone with cancer but not in a professional or vocational capacity. Patient partners and caregivers can act as “collaborators” or “co-investigators” depending on responsibilities and impact of contribution to the proposed project.
For any questions of eligibility or unusual circumstances not described above, please contact LLSC.
 

A Principal Investigator may only submit ONE Application per application cycle and cannot serve as a Principal Investigator OR Co-Principal Investigator on more than ONE Application per cycle. A Co-Investigator (also known as Collaborator) CAN serve as Co-Investigator on more than one Application. A Principal Investigator or Co-Principal Investigator can serve as a Collaborator on other Applications (See Definitions below).
Co-Principal Investigators, Co-Investigators, Collaborators, and Key Personnel:

The Co-Principal Investigator is responsible for developing the Aims of the project.

The Co-Investigator (who can also be referred to as Collaborator) is responsible for carrying out the Aims of the project.

A Principal Investigator CANNOT be named as a Principal Investigator or a Co-Principal Investigator on another application during the same application cycle.

A Principal Investigator can be listed as a Co-Investigator or a Collaborator on another application in the same cycle, without limit to the number of applications.

A Collaborator or Co-Investigator can be named on more than one application or funded grant, without limit.

Community Partners are patients or caregivers/family members of patients who have direct experience with the disease or intervention being studied but are not participants in the study that may be a part of the research project. Community Partners can also be collaborators or co-investigators

 

Applicants to the Physician Scientist Fellow Award Program must meet the following criteria to be eligible for funding:

Hold a MD.

Applicants must have completed or be in their last year of their fellowship in hematology, oncology, hematopathology, pathology, or other related disciplines. Applicants are welcome to contact LLSC (paul.oconnell@lls.org) to determine their eligibility to apply.

Applicants must be enrolled in either a Master’s or PhD program, or as a post-doctoral fellow at the time of application.

Must propose research directly relevant to blood cancer.

Research may be performed in the same laboratory as where their graduate degree research was performed (e.g. Master’s or PhD, if applicable).

The maximum award per year is $85,000 for salary only. A Physician Scientist Fellow’s salary may be supplemented by funds from another source. Indirect costs may not be included. The final value of the Award may be limited by the applicant’s Sponsoring Institution’s salary range.

Expenditures for laboratory costs/equipment, travel, tuition, etc. are not permitted. The awarded value will be limited to the amount requested in the submitted proposal.

It is anticipated that the proposed research will occupy a majority of the applicant’s research time. However, there are no requirements for a certain percent effort in our budget template.

Must have a Sponsor (or Sponsor/co-Sponsor pair) that has significant experience in the blood cancer field.

Must have a Sponsor with adequate funding that supports the research proposed. As it is required that the applicant’s Sponsor have current grants to fund the proposed research (Physician Scientist Fellow Awards will provide salary support), it is expected that there will be some overlap with current research support. Applications that include writing and figures directly from a Sponsor’s prior work will be unfavorably reviewed, with the exception of figures in the Background section of the application.

Must be on a clear trajectory to an independent career in hematology/oncology with a focus on blood cancer and clinical translation. Applicants with little or no prior blood cancer experience will be considered provided there is clear evidence of a path forward in a career in blood cancer. The Sponsor (or Sponsor/co-Sponsor pair) must be appropriate for this career path.

Have at least 50% protected time for research.

Must demonstrate the need for continued funding.
