Biorepository and Tissue Technology Shared Resource
Thanks to the generous contribution of the Gleiberman Head and Neck Cancer Center, the Moores Cancer Center, Tissue Technology Shared Resource has recently purchased a Phenocycler-Fusion from AKOYA Biosciences. This technology will play a key role in immuno-oncology research by allowing the study of spatial interactions of tumor and immune cells.
The PhenoCycler™-Fusion allows spatial phenotyping of millions of cells at unprecedented scale and speed. Mapping millions of cells and their interactions in a single intact tissue section facilitates the discovery of rare cell types, cellular neighborhoods, and spatial functional states. Push the frontiers of spatial biology with your team using the PhenoCycler solutions (formerly CODEX®).

Call for LOIs - Curebound Targeted Grants and Cure Prizes
Curebound raises funds year-round for collaborative cancer research, including the signature event, Padres Pedal the Cause. Funds are available to faculty members from the six Curebound-affiliated institutions: Moores (MCC), Salk, Sanford Burnham Prebys (SBP), Rady Children’s Hospital, La Jolla Institute (LJI), and Scripps Research (SR). The goal is to stimulate scientific collaboration, team science, and innovative translational research related to the prevention, diagnosis, or treatment of cancer or pre-cancer.
A PI/Co-PI may submit only one LOI for a Targeted Grant and/or one LOI for a Cure Prize in response to this Fall 2022 Curebound call.
Targeted Grants: Curebound will fund innovative translational oncology discoveries that show promise in advancing to pre-clinical and clinical stages. Targeted Grants will fund continuity of ideas from the investigators’ past line(s) of research, and this should be described in their research plan. Targeted Grants should include collaboration with at least one clinical researcher from UC San Diego Health or Rady Children’s Hospital.
- Applicants will be invited to apply for a Targeted translational grant based on review of submitted LOIs.
- $500,000 for a 1-year award
Cure Prize: Prestigious award with a yearly challenge curated by the Curebound Scientific Advisory Board to fund innovative ground-breaking ideas that will change the course of cancer research and care in San Diego. Cure Prizes are given to teams who present collaborative and/or inter-disciplinary solutions that show near-term (3-5 years) promise of clinical breakthrough and represent “game changers” in the prevention, treatment, and/or cure of cancer.
Applicants will be invited to apply for a Cure Prize based on Curebound Scientific review of submitted LOIs.
-
$1,000,000 for a 2- to 3-year award (either $500,000/year for 2 years or $333,333/year for 3 years)
IDC Coverage: Curebound allows for a maximum 30% inclusive IDC rate for Curebound Targeted grants and Cure Prizes.
All LOIs must be uploaded to WebGAAS (http://moores.ucsd.edu/Admin/grants-in-aid.asp) in a single pdf by the internal deadline of Monday, August 15, 2022 at 5:00 p.m. Follow these instructions for the submission of your single pdf:
- Cover page with identifying information (the specific opportunity to which you are responding; project title; investigator names, titles, institutions, and emails)
- Letter of Intent/Research Statement (2 page maximum)
-
Arial, at least 11-point font, at least 1/2 inch margins all around, one page maximum, including any Figures, Tables, etc. Citations only may be included on a 3rd page.
-
Describe the nature of the research program, including a brief summary of aims, significance and rationale, preliminary data, and the research plan. Please be sure to read the RFA and explicitly state how your project aligns with the intention of each grant type (e.g., as detailed in the RFA, for Targeted Grants, be sure to include how the proposed research is an extension of the investigators’ past research; for Cure Prizes, be sure to include how the project is a near-term (3-5 year) innovative solution per the Challenge.
- NIH-style biosketches for all investigators (preferably in new format)
- 5 pages max
- Include active and pending support
LOIs will be reviewed by Curebound’s Scientific Advisory Board and recommendations will be made to Curebound regarding the most competitive proposals. If selected, the PI should be prepared to complete a full application pursuant to the Curebound RFA (attached) and due on September 30, 2022.
Questions? Contact Amy Spilkin, Ph.D., aspilkin@health.ucsd.edu
