Research Grants and Grant Guidelines

Hurricane Katrina/Rita Update

Due to the effects of Hurricane Katrina and Rita, CAGNO did not offer basic or student research grants during the 2006 funding year. CAGNO hopes to resume its Research Grant Program soon. Please visit this site regularly for updates and notifications of grant deadlines. We apologize for any inconvenience and look forward to working with local students and scientists in the future.

A long time leader in local cancer research, CAGNO provides seed money grants and research stipends to the best and brightest PhDs and students in our medical community. This is CAGNO's way of supporting the local medical community and keeping our best and brightest in New Orleans. The 2004 Student Grant guidelines will be sent out in mid-March, and the applications will be due on Thursday, April 28 by 4 p.m. Basic Grant Guidelines will be sent out at the beginning of September, and the applications will be due in November by 4 p.m. All grants are reviewed by the CAGNO Research Advisory Committee. This Committee is made up of Doctors and other medical professionals in equal representation of all participating institutions. Student grants are graded and scored based on the following criteria: scientific merit, relevance to cancer, and quality of proposal.
