NCI Mentored Quantitative Research Career Award
The Mentored Quantitative Research Career Development Award (K25) supports investigators with backgrounds in quantitative sciences and engineering—outside of biology or medicine—who are committed to transitioning into behavioral and biomedical (basic or clinical) cancer research.
