The Cancer Research Coordinating Committee (CRCC) is pleased to issue a Request for Proposals for the 2023-24 Faculty Seed Grants. The CRCC is a systemwide, faculty-directed cancer research program that provides one-year seed grants for topics in any discipline that address any aspect of cancer, including its origins, prevention and cure.

Currently, the CRCC awards grants to:
