I have heard of the Societys Ohio Division Supported Research Program. What is that?
Through 2009, the Ohio Division was one of only two Divisions nationwide that, in addition to the National Extramural Grants program, allocated state operating funds toward research projects conducted by junior investigators in Ohio. However, due to budgetary constraints, the Ohio Division Supported Research Program has been suspended for FY 2010. It will fulfill commitments to existing recipients until their grants expire in 2010. The Society remains committed to cancer research. While the $280,000/year Ohio program was a valuable asset to those who received these pilot grants, we currently still have a half billion dollars in research grants in effect nationwide – including about $18.5 million in Ohio. The Society is and remains the largest private, nonprofit funder of cancer research in the United States.
