Research Funding

Total research support for UT Southwestern Medical Center faculty members in Pediatric Hematology-Oncology amounts to more than $3.4 million annually, primarily grants from National Cancer Institute (NCI) or NHLBI. In addition to the NIH-supporting agencies, funding from other organizations includes:

• HRSA: Maternal and Child Health Bureau
• Centers for Disease Control and Prevention
• Children’s Cancer Fund
• Wipe Out Kids’ Cancer
• American Society of Clinical Oncology
• Amon G. Carter Foundation
• Livestrong Foundation

During 2009, three faculty members were Principal Investigators of R01 grants, one received a K23 award, and three were supported in part by an institutional KL2 award as part of UT Southwestern’s NIH-supported North and Central Texas Clinical and Translational Research Initiative. These are in addition to the numerous other grants and contracts from the NIH held by divisional faculty members.
