The University of Colorado Anschutz Cancer Center is pleased to offer pilot grant funding to support the development of exceptional research projects leading to the ultimate conquest of cancer and furthering cancer center objectives. SebastianStrong Foundation The SebastianStrong Foundation is offering a $500,000 award to support early-stage research that could lead to more targeted, less toxic treatments for childhood cancer.
The Foundation is especially interested in research that: Focuses on pediatric cancers with low survival or high relapse rates. Show strong potential to reach a clinical trial within 1–3 years. Pursues underfunded or unconventional approaches that could change the status quo.
Projects already in progress or currently in clinical trials are not eligible. The CU Anschutz Cancer Center may submit two (2) nominations. Internal LOI instructions can be found in the link below.
Additional information and requirements can be found in the RFA linked below.

Small Pilot Grants: Intended to support investigators interested in (a) testing new ideas in pancreatic cancer research, or applying a research concept to pancreatic cancer for the first time, (b) developing a new line of research focused on pancreatic cancer in an investigator’s lab not previously focused on pancreatic cancer research, or (c) supporting the acquisition of additional data to address critiques of an NIH or other national grant focused on pancreatic cancer.
Awards are anticipated to be in, but not limited to, the $30-50K range and will be issued for 12 months. Collaborative Pilot Grants: Intended to stimulate collaborative research involving two or more co-PIs (one of whom must be a Cancer Center member) focused on pancreatic cancer that has a high likelihood of leading to a multi-PI NIH or other national grant submission within 15-18 months of the award start.
Awards will be issued for an 18-month period and are anticipated to be in, but not limited to, the $50-100K range. Team Science Awards: Intended to support the development of pancreatic cancer-focused team science grants such as large multi-PI R01 (>$250K directs/yr), P, U or other multi-project team grants offered by a national-level sponsor.
The proposal must involve three or more investigators (one of whom must be a Cancer Center member) each providing substantive contributions to the proposed research. Awards will be issued for an 18-month period and are anticipated to be in, but not limited to, the $150K range. Eligibility: Principal Investigators must be a cancer center member.
Adjunct Cancer Center members are not eligible to apply. Funds are not intended to support extensions on prior pilot project efforts or to extend funding already provided by the Cancer Center for the development of multi-project grants. Wings will not fund largely duplicative pilots when they have been funded through another pilot award or other foundations.
All progress reports, including previous Wings pilot updates, must be current. Eligibility requires active awards to be in good financial standing; applicants with awards in deficit will not be considered. Applicants who received a pilot grant from the Wings of Hope in previous years t hat are not yet complete at time of application are ineligible for this round of pilot awards.
Please read the RFA for all eligibility requirements. Duration: 12-18 months depending on the award type, with an anticipated award start date of January 1, 2027. Amount: $50,000-$100,000 depending on the award type.

NCI Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) Academic Career Excellence (ACE) Award (K32) is a grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that funds early postdoctoral fellows from diverse backgrounds, including underrepresented groups, to pursue research training in cancer-related fields. The K32 award supports fellows within 12 months prior to transitioning into, or within the first two years of, a postdoctoral position. The program, operated through NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), aims to enhance the pool of qualified diverse cancer researchers. Beginning with the June 12, 2025 due date, the CURE ACE Award is available in both Independent Clinical Trial Required and Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed versions. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents at time of award.
Smart Health and Biomedical Research in the Era of Artificial Intelligence and Advanced Data Science (SCH) is sponsored by National Science Foundation (NSF) & National Institutes of Health (NIH). This interagency program supports high-risk, high-reward advances in AI and data science for biomedical and public health research. Projects must cross disciplinary boundaries.
On June 1, DARPA and NSF announced AI Forge — a jointly governed forum that will fund university-led research on three thrusts: AI interpretability, AI control, and adversarial robustness. The RFI on sam.gov closes June 22, 2026, at 5:00 PM ET. Project Ventures awards run roughly $750K to $3M with one-year durations and multiple awards expected annually. Administration runs through a nonprofit, intellectual property will be shared via open-source licensing, and CAISI at NIST is the third partner. Here is what the 15 priority research challenges look like and how U.S. universities should respond.
Read articleA new Interior Department policy routes every grant and cooperative agreement of $50,000 or more through two political appointees for manual review. The result is a backlog of roughly 1,400 grants and $362 million in delayed funding — up from fewer than 10 two years ago. Here is how the bottleneck works, why it matters even for recipients who already have an award letter, and what nonprofits, universities, states, and tribes should do to protect projects that depend on Interior dollars.
Read articleThe RFI closed June 22. Now the forum is standing up. AI Forge is a jointly governed, university-led venture funding interpretability, control, and adversarial robustness in one-year Project Ventures — here's how the 15 challenges, the CAISI tie, and the nonprofit administrator reshape who gets funded.
