Neuroendocrine Tumor Research Foundation (NETRF)

LOI: Investigator Awards

Investigator Awards are designed to fund projects with two or three aims, which are usually led by a single principal investigator (PI) but may involve collaborators. NETRF also supports transformative basic, translational, and clinical research studies.

These projects are comparable to an NIH R21 grant, which supports exploratory and developmental research projects, allowing researchers to gather preliminary data. Such data will then test innovative ideas that may lead to more substantial research endeavors in the future.

Budget: $270,000 in total.

Duration: 2 years.
