The award is intended to support the work of an investigator with an exceptionally novel and creative project with "great potential to produce breakthroughs in our understanding of the management of bladder cancer." One proposal will be funded for $300,000 over two years ($150,000 per year). The aim of the 2020 Bladder Cancer Research Innovation Award is to support exceptionally novel and creative projects with great potential to produce breakthroughs in our understanding of bladder cancer. The proposed research may be basic, translational, clinical or epidemiological and must have direct applicability and relevance to bladder cancer. Innovation, either conceptual or technological, is essential. Interested applicants must submit a Letter of Intent by: Wednesday, January 15, 2020. Individuals who are then invited to submit full research proposals and compete for the award will have until mid-April to submit, with the award decision being announced in June 2020.
