Extramural Limited Submission Funding Opportunities
Extramural Limited Submission Funding Opportunities
Limited extramural funding opportunities are provided as a courtesy to UCLA Health JCCC members. For an opportunity to be included on this list, it must be a cancer-relevant Limited Submission Opportunity (LSO). LSOs for NIH Administrative Supplements responsive to the UCLA Health JCCC’s Support Grant, P30CA016042, are also included on this list. Submission instructions are noted below.
Listings are generally updated on a bimonthly basis. Entries are ordered by posting date, with most recent postings first. Opportunities are removed from this list once their final application due date has passed.
For more information, please visit our online funding portal, InfoReady. Here, you can find detailed information about available LSOs and explore the home page for more opportunities. If you have any questions about specific LSOs listed below or about NIH Administrative Supplements (under UCLA Health JCCC’s Support Grant, P30CA016042), please contact Sarah Anwar Tar via email.

2025 V Foundation Pediatric All-Star Translational Cancer Research Grant
This All-Star grant is a reinvestment in the most exceptional prior V Foundation grantees and their most innovative ideas. This grant provides funding for high-risk, high-reward, transformative projects that will have a significant impact on our understanding and/or treatment of cancer. Please note it is not required that the previously funded grant was focused on pediatric research nor do the previously funded grant and the newly proposed project need to be linked.
This All-Star grant is restricted to pediatric cancer research and research on ANY pediatric cancer type can be funded. The scope of research includes basic/exploratory research, translational, preclinical, and clinical research. Regardless of project type (i.e.: basic vs translational), nominees must propose innovative, non-incremental research that has the potential to radically move the needle in our understanding of cancer or clinical practice. Research areas not included in this scope are epidemiology, behavioral science, and health services research.
How to apply
To submit your nomination application, please access our InfoReady portal: 2025 V Foundation Pediatric All-Star Translational Cancer Research Grant InfoReady application.
Deadline
Applications to be considered for the single nominations are due by Thursday, April 24, 2025 at 5pm PST.
2025 V Foundation Pediatric Translational Cancer Research Grant
Translational research is a key component of the research continuum that advances basic laboratory discoveries towards clinical use, ultimately improving human health. This Translational grant is restricted to pediatric cancer research in the preclinical or translational space with a focus on bench-to-bedside strategies. Research on ANY pediatric cancer type can be funded. Applicants may propose cancer research that moves a novel strategy from the laboratory into a human clinical trial or uses specimens from a clinical trial to test hypotheses or to develop biomarkers or mechanisms. The research must apply in a direct way to human beings within 3 years from the end of the grant. If biomarker research is undertaken, a validation set or independent clinical trial is essential. A plan for biomarker validation, if applicable, must be included in any proposal. The endpoint of the project should be the planning or initiation of a new clinical trial or conducting an investigator-initiated trial with laboratory correlates that test hypotheses. Research areas not included in this scope are epidemiology, behavioral science, and health services research.

Emphasis for this grant mechanism is on supporting exceptional early career investigators at the Assistant Professor stage to be better positioned to leverage large R01 or similar sustaining grants. Research areas not included in this scope are epidemiology, behavioral science, and health services research.
