The Cancer Research Institute Clinic and Laboratory Integration Program (CLIP) supports pre-clinical and translational research that can be directly applied to optimizing cancer immunotherapy in the clinic. CLIP grants are awarded to qualified scientists exploring clinically relevant questions aimed at improving the effectiveness of cancer immunotherapies.

UPDATE: Please note that there are new revised deadlines for both the Letter of Intent and Full Application. Proposals in all cancers are encouraged.

Overview

The Cancer Research Institute mission is save more lives by fueling the discovery and development of powerful immunotherapies for all types of cancer. It funds research aimed at furthering the development of immunological approaches to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of cancer.

The development of new and effective cancer treatment requires the translation of basic laboratory discoveries into novel therapies that can be tested in patients. This area of translational research—where laboratory findings move into clinical testing, and where questions from clinical studies are brought back into the lab—is critical to bringing new and better immunotherapies to patients.

The Cancer Research Institute established CLIP to support investigators who are studying critical topics at the intersection of laboratory and clinical research. CLIP grants provide up to $200,000 over a two-year period.
