The Hope Foundation for Cancer Research
Deadline: December 1, 2019
The Hope Foundation SEED Fund encourages well-defined projects which have strong potential to
direct future SWOG research and which realistically can be completed in 1-2 years.
Because the research proposal is of limited scope, a SEED grant application will not contain extensive detail or rise to the level of discussion found in a SWOG/Hope Impact award proposal. Accordingly, reviewers will evaluate the direct correlation to future SWOG research potential, emphasizing conceptual framework and general approach to the problem, placing less emphasis on methodological details and certain indicators traditionally used in evaluating the scientific merit of Impact applications including supportive preliminary data. Appropriate justification for the proposed work can be provided through literature citations, data from other sources, or from investigator-generated data. Preliminary data are not required, particularly in applications proposing pilot or feasibility studies
