American Cancer Society Research Scholar Grants (RSG)
The American Cancer Society’s Research Scholar Grants (RSG) support independent, self-directed investigators pursuing research across the cancer continuum. These investigator-initiated proposals must fall within ACS priority research areas and may include topics in cancer biology, prevention, detection, diagnosis, treatment, survivorship, and health equity.
Institutions must provide customary resources and space for the investigator, affirming the PI’s independence and capacity to carry out the proposed project. These grants aim to enhance the career development of early- to mid-career researchers by funding research costs such as salaries, supplies, and other project-related expenses.
