ONS Foundation Small Research Grants

2009 Mentored Planning Grant Funding (RE01A)

Award: The Mentored Planning Grant award is $2,500.00 for development of a proposal for a Small Grant Award. The funding period is from March 15-October 1, at which time an application for a ONS Foundation Small Grant Award is due.

Purpose: The purpose of the ONS Foundation Mentored Planning Grant Award is to provide development support for new scientists. Funding supports a new investigator to work closely with an established researcher mentor to develop a research proposal. At the end of the funding period, an ONS Foundation Small Grant Application is submitted on October 1 for consideration of a $10,000 small grant award. If ONS Foundation Small Grant funding is received, the investigator and mentor must work together to implement the research study.

Eligibility: The principal investigator must be actively involved in some aspect of cancer patient care, education or research. Funding preference is given to projects that involve nurses in the design and conduct of the research activity and that promote theoretically based oncology practice. Membership in ONS is not required for eligibility. Both master's prepared and doctorally-prepared investigators may apply for this award; doctoral students are not eligible.

Application Deadline: October 1, 2008
