The American Cancer Society is backing the UVA Cancer Center\u2019s efforts to nurture promising ideas from early career scientists that could lead to important breakthroughs in our understanding of cancer and improve our ability to treat it.<\/p>\n

UVA\u2019s National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center has received an ACS Institutional Research Grant that will provide seed funding for junior faculty to initiate research projects. The goal is to sustain early research so that the scientists can demonstrate the potential of their ideas and obtain additional grant funding to support their work in the long run.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe ACS-IRG funding has been and continues to be an essential mechanism for helping new cancer research faculty jumpstart their careers and generate new findings on the understanding and therapy of cancer for the future benefit of cancer patients,\u201d said UVA\u2019s Roger Abounader, MD, PhD, the principal investigator on the grant. Abounader is the Arthur and Margaret Ebbert Professor of Medical Science at the UVA School of Medicine and UVA Cancer Center\u2019s Associate Director for Basic Research.
