About the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Inc.
The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society, Inc. (LLS) is a national voluntary health agency dedicated to the conquest of hematologic malignancies and relevant premalignant conditions. LLS supports research, patient aid, community service programs, advocacy, and public and professional education.
Description of Awards
Through the Career Development Program, LLS supports talented blood cancer researchers in the early phase of their careers. CDP continues to provide a pool of dedicated researchers to advance the understanding and diagnosis of cancer, as well as the development of treatment and prevention options that will ultimately lead to cures for blood cancer patients. CDP funding is limited to salary support for the Applicant, but may be supplemented by funds from other appropriate sources as determined by the Grantee’s Sponsoring Institution. Support for research-associated costs must be provided by another source.
The Scholar & Scholar in Clinical Research Award
The Award is for 5 years. The maximum award per year is $110,000 and includes the Applicant’s salary and fringe benefits. Indirect costs may be included, and cannot exceed 5% of the total direct costs requested in the proposal. Expenditures for laboratory costs/equipment, travel, etc. are not permitted. The awarded value will be limited to the amount requested in the submitted proposal. It is anticipated that the proposed research will occupy a majority of the applicant’s research time. However, there are no requirements for a certain percent effort in our budget template.
