Grant Opportunities: International Innovation Grant Program for Projects with significant impact on Cancer Control

Deadline: 31-Aug-22

The American Society of Clinical Oncology (ASCO) is pleased to announce the International Innovation Grant Program to provide research funding in support of novel and innovative projects that can have a significant impact on cancer control in low- and middle-income countries (LMCs).

It is intended to support proposals that have the potential to reduce the cancer burden in local communities, while also being potentially transferable to other low- or middle-income settings.

The IIG is intended to support proposals that have the potential to reduce the cancer burden in local communities, while also being potentially transferrable to other low- or middle-income settings. The grant funding is intended to support research projects aimed at forming a basis for reducing the barriers to cancer control in LMICs; not for short-term funding of cancer control services.

Funding Information

The IIG is a one-year research grant of up to $20,000 that is awarded and paid directly to a nonprofit organization or governmental agency (“Grantee Organization”) in a low-income or middle-income country. The number of IIGs in each funding cycle is not predetermined by Conquer Cancer. Awards are given based on individual merit and availability of funds.

Eligibility Criteria

All of the following criteria must be met in order to qualify for an IIG:

Applicant Organization:
- Must be an organization with a charitable purpose registered as a not-for-profit with the relevant national authority or must be a government agency. This organization will administer the grant funds for the sole purpose of the project. Examples of potential not-for-profit organizations are medical societies or associations, advocacy organizations, foundations, hospitals, and universities.
- Must be located in a country categorized by the World Bank as Low-Income, Lower-Middle Income, or Upper-Middle Income.
- Must have been operating for at least one full year, have an acceptable management structure and processes in place, and be solvent with or without the support of the International Innovation Grant.
- Should have experience in carrying out activities with tangible outcomes.
- Must be a member of ASCO (any membership category) or have submitted a membership application with the grant application.
- Must be a citizen or permanent resident of a country defined by the World Bank as Low-Income, Lower-Middle Income, or Upper-Middle Income, and currently residing in that country.
- Must be affiliated with the applicant organization.

Grant Opportunities: Spencer Foundation’s Conference Grant Program

Deadline: 11-Oct-22

The Spencer Foundation is pleased to launch Conference Grant Program to provide support to scholars to organize small research conferences, focused symposia, or other forms of convenings around important issues in education research.

This program is intended to bring together researchers, community members, practitioners, policymakers, and other important collaborators whose expertise, substantive knowledge and practice, theoretical insight, or methodological expertise can be engaged in ways that help to build upon and advance education research.

They encourage applicants to think creatively about how convenings can expand their understanding of research methods and how new innovative research methods can impact educational research that is grounded in advancing racial equity.

They invite proposals that aim to think deeply and critically about the methodological traditions of education research, develop new innovative research methods or new applications of existing methods through interdisciplinary engagement, and/or collaborate to increase the application of critical research methods to broaden the impact of educational research on practice or policy. Importantly, they welcome proposals that advance conceptualizations of strength-based and systems transformation perspectives. Finally, they encourage applicants to carefully and innovatively think about the format and pedagogy of their proposed conference or convenings.

Proposals focused exclusively on professional development for teachers, faculty, or other education practitioners are not eligible for this grant program unless there is a clear and compelling research focus articulated by the principal investigator.

Funding Information

This grant program supports proposals with budgets of $50,000 or less.

Eligibility Criteria

Proposals to the Conference Grant program must be for small research conferences, focused symposia, or convenings that will explore understanding of research methods and how new innovative research methods can impact educational research that is grounded in advancing racial equity as specified in the Program Statement.
Principal Investigators (PIs) and Co-PIs applying for a Conference grant must have an earned doctorate in an academic discipline or professional field, or appropriate experience in an education research-related profession. While graduate students may be part of the proposal, they may not be named the PI or Co-PI.
The PI must be affiliated with a non-profit organization or public/governmental institution that is willing to serve as the administering organization if the grant is awarded. The Spencer Foundation does not award grants directly to individuals. Examples include non-profit or public colleges, universities, school districts, and research facilities, as well as other non-profit organizations with a 501(c)(3) determination from the IRS (or equivalent nonprofit status if the organization is outside of the United States).
Proposals are accepted from the U.S. and internationally, however all proposals must be submitted in English and budgets must be proposed in U.S. Dollars.

Context:

Niger, situated on the crossroad between north, central and western Africa is characterized by a variety of different migratory movements, including transit and return migration. This includes migrants from Niger as well as other African countries, mainly from west and central Africa. Many of the migrants have been victim to abuse and exploitation along their migration routes and hence have various protection needs.

To meet these challenges, IOM, through its Migrant Protection and Assistance Programme, aims to assist migrants to voluntarily return and reintegrate in their country of origin, while guaranteeing their rights and addressing their protection needs.

Niger is one of the 13 countries in West and Central Africa (Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Chad, Cote d’Ivoire, Ghana, Guinea, Libya, Mali, Mauritania, Niger, Nigeria, Senegal, The Gambia) that are part of the EU-IOM Joint Initiative for Migrant Protection and Reintegration, which is supported by the European Union (EU), and aims to protect the security, dignity and rights of migrants along migration routes.

This is achieved through different types of interventions including protection and assistance to vulnerable and stranded migrants, provision of direct assistance through search and rescue support, identification, referral and direct assistance to vulnerable migrants, assistance for voluntary return, support for sustainable reintegration in the communities of origin, the dissemination of accurate information on migration to migrants, potential migrants and communities, and the collection of data on migration flows. The programme also aims to strengthen the technical and material capacities of governmental authorities and local organizations so that they can ultimately take over the various activities of the programme, with a view to improving the governance of migration in the region.
