four investigators receive funding awards through the alliance cancer control program

Four Alliance investigators have been selected to receive funding awards through the Alliance Cancer Control Program (CCP). The Alliance NCORP Research Base, which is supported by the NCI Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP), supports Alliance researchers and junior investigators and their work through annual funding awards: Alliance CCP Pilot Project Award and Alliance CCP Junior Faculty Award. All
applications are scored using the National Institutes of Health (NIH) grant application scoring system, and those applications with the lowest score are considered for funding. This year, three projects have been selected to receive the pilot project award; however, none were selected for the junior faculty award.

Recipients of the Alliance CCP Pilot Project Award include:
