for pilot research studies on bioethics and oral cancer - open to faculty and students

The Tuskegee University National Center for Bioethics in Research and Health Care (TUNCBRHC), in collaboration with the New York University Oral Cancer Research for Adolescent and Adult Health Promotion (RAAHP), recently announced its first annual competition for pilot research studies on bioethical issues related to oral cancer in February, with an original grant application due date of April 30, 2002.

Due to an insufficient number of competitive applications received by that time, the deadline has been postponed to October 15, 2002.

Qualified applicants selected will be awarded up to $15,000 (USD) to conduct on year pilot studies (funding eligibility).  This opportunity is open to all University/College faculty and students (including undergraduate, bioethics and dental school students).  Racial/ethnic minorities and new investigators will be given preference and are strongly encouraged to apply. 

Applications are available from TUNCBRHC beginning February 28, 2002 (preferably per email request toNatasha Brown) and will be accepted until April 30, 2002, which is the final submission due date (application procedures and selection process). 

Please direct inquires to Mrs. Natasha Brown by email or telephone at 334.724.4612. (questions and information)
