Funding Opportunities

Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center regularly solicits applications for pilot funding to support basic, translational, clinical or collaborative cancer research. Pilot funds allow investigators to collect preliminary data to support an application for independent research support through extramural, peer-reviewed funding. Over the past five years, the Cancer Center awarded $4.1 million to fund 98 pilot projects. This investment led to the acquisition of more than $41 million in extramurally funded grants – a 985 percent return on investment.

About the VICC Ambassadors

Who We Are

VICC Ambassadors formed in 2009 thanks to the support of the VICC Board of Overseers and its chair, Orrin Ingram. These young professionals have a shared passion for fighting cancer and commitment to Vanderbilt-Ingram Cancer Center. By raising money for the Victory Over Cancer Fund and awarding discovery grants to promising investigators, Ambassadors are sparking the development of research initiatives to improve outcomes for patients. Since its formation, VICC Ambassadors have awarded more than $1 million in discovery grants.
