Cancer Research Programs (CRP) provides:

• Funding opportunities initially for two full and two pilot research projects and for additional pilot research projects in years 4 and 5 that demonstrate the capability to become full research projects within the Partnership or, after completion, to achieve independent funding.
• Effective mentors for junior faculty co-leaders who, as part of the Partnership, have received pilot or full research project funding.
• Regular evaluation of projects and mentors to ensure success of the individual projects and the overall effectiveness of the CRP.
