✕Less likely to help
Direct patient participation is not part of this grant.
What this research studies
This grant funds a networked initiative at Dartmouth to train students, grow faculty research, and strengthen the research culture in cancer biology. It provides pilot project support, student salaries, and faculty release time to develop early-stage projects. Mentorship and career guidance are emphasized to help investigators become more competitive for external funding. Projects are reviewed by experts and chosen for scientific merit and potential to involve undergraduate students. The program aims to create sustainable research activity across partner institutions in the NH-INBRE network.
Why it matters
Potential benefit: If successful, it could accelerate cancer biology discoveries and build a pipeline of trained researchers who may contribute to future cancer treatments.
How similar studies have gone: Similar INBRE-type programs have shown increases in research activity and funding competitiveness in partner institutions.
