Clinician Scientist Development Grant

About this program

The American Cancer Society offers the Clinician Scientist Development Grant (CSDG) to support full-time faculty members in transitioning into independent investigator roles as clinician scientists, focusing on cancer research while maintaining clinical practice. This grant targets clinicians with doctoral degrees, active clinical licenses, and ongoing clinical care involvement at U.S. academic institutions or eligible non-profits. Applicants must not have prior experience as principal investigators on individual mentored training grants, ensuring the program fosters early-career development in clinician-scientist roles.
