The Johnson Cancer Research Center helps train the next generation of researchers through competitive award programs. All graduate student applications must be sponsored by JCRC faculty members. The center will fund summer stipends for graduate students studying under the direction of JCRC faculty members. These competitive awards are provided to the faculty mentors, not the students, and the application must be submitted by the faculty member.
Heart Research Awards These awards are presented to one or more faculty members to support graduate student research on heart development, function, or disease. Both student stipends and research expenses may be covered. This award is given periodically based on an endowment established for this specific purpose. Generally, it is given every other year. The application deadline is October 1 of odd years.
