Dear Dr.,

 

The Division of Cancer Control and Population Sciences (DCCPS) and the Division of Cancer Prevention (DCP) of the National Cancer Institute (NCI) invite you to attend the 2019 DCCPS & DCP New Grantee Workshop, November 21-22, 2019, at the NCI Shady Grove campus, in Rockville, MD.

 

The workshop brings together new extramural investigators funded by DCCPS or DCP who received their first NIH Research Project Grants (R01) in FY 2018 and FY 2019. The primary goals of the workshop are to help build strong and vibrant cancer control and prevention research programs and to foster the careers of promising new cancer researchers.

 

The workshop will convene experts from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and NCI, and more than 100 of your colleagues who are funded new and/or early stage R01 investigators. It will provide

•         Information, tools, and resources to help you successfully manage your current grant and to understand future funding opportunities and review and award processes

•         Opportunities to network, initiate collaborative relationships, share information about your research, and discuss new ideas

•         Opportunities to meet with your program director, other program staff, and the program leadership group

•         A chance to learn about funding opportunities for training junior investigators

•         Insights and insider perspectives into the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), NIH, and NCI strategic priorities and scientific directions

 

It is an exciting time to be working in cancer control and prevention research and we hope you will be able to join us!
