CPRIT announced today 3 new Requests for Applications for academics. See the website for previously announced academic RFAs and commercial opportunities. If you want to cure cancer -- or even just help cure cancer -- I recommend working with M.D. Anderson Cancer Center for your move. There is a particular sequence of things you and the prospective host institution need to do. Postdocs: "First-Time" means you. Best wishes, George http://www.cprit.state.tx.us/funding-opportunities/ Complete RFAs, detailing applicable deadlines, requirements and instructions are available in the Funding Opportunities <http://state.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9bc46acc55c4a42d93566d3a5&id=0bdc011be2&e=6c0661b626> section of CPRIT's website <http://state.us1.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9bc46acc55c4a42d93566d3a5&id=136e2ce4b4&e=6c0661b626>.
