The Minority-Serving Institution Faculty Scholar in Cancer Research Awards are given to assistant professor or above scientists working at a minority-serving institution and engaged in meritorious basic, clinical, translational or epidemiological cancer research.
The award is intended to increase the scientific knowledge base of faculty members at minority-serving institutions, to encourage them in their research and to assist in inspiring students to pursue careers in cancer research. It is supported by a grant from the National Cancer Institute’s Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities.
