The Department of Oncology is soliciting applications for the MacMillan Pathway to Independence Program (MPIP). The program intends to support the training and development of MDs and MD/PhDs who are committed to a deeper mentored training experience as laboratory-based and/or translational career physician-scientists. For the 2026 funding period which starts July 1, 2026, 2-3 awards are expected. Grants will be renewable for a second year pending review of a progress report. The expectation is that these applications will formulate the basis of a career development award submission, ideally an NIH K-grant or similar application. 

We are soliciting research proposals to support a new cycle of the Commonwealth grant pilot projects. Commonwealth funding has been instrumental in supporting some of our most novel and impactful work as well as providing critical support to our shared research infrastructure. Specifically, we are seeking proposals for ambitious one-year team-based translational projects with the potential to impact cancer management. We anticipate being able to fund up to 10 projects for this period. Details of the solicitation can be found below.
