Discovery Boost Grants (DBG)

Discovery Boost Grants (DBG) support high-risk, high-reward exploratory cancer research across the research continuum. Investigators may focus on developing research methodologies, establishing feasibility, or leading pilot tests.

It is expected that preliminary data generated from a completed DBG will have the potential to secure additional grant funding to further the research and open new and highly innovative areas for investigation.

You are eligible to submit a proposal if you:

• Work at a US academic institution or eligible non-profit
• Have an independent faculty appointment

GRANT TERM AND BUDGET Awards are for up to 2 years with $100,000 a year for direct costs, plus 20% allowable indirect costs.
