This grant, called the Research Specialist Award (R50), is for scientists who want to do cancer research in a lab but not lead their own independent projects. It helps create stable jobs for skilled researchers working inside existing NCI-funded cancer studies. These scientists are important for keeping cancer research going. Only very talented researchers who want to contribute to ongoing cancer programs, rather than run their own labs, are likely to get this award.
