The University of Cincinnati Cancer Center Pilot Project Award Program is dedicated to advancing cancer research by providing pilot funding to faculty investigators. In the Fall 2025 cycle, five of our Cancer Center members received funding for their pilot projects.

The University of Cincinnati Cancer Center is pleased to announce the latest awardees of the Survivorship Pilot Project Award Program, supported by the Schiff Family Foundation Cancer Survivorship Research Fund. This program funds early-stage survivorship research with the goal of generating preliminary data, fostering collaboration, and supporting investigators entering the field.

Colorectal cancer is one of the most common and preventable cancers in the United States, yet it remains the second leading cause of cancer death when men and women are combined. This March, in recognition of National Colorectal Cancer Awareness Month, we are taking stock of where the field stands, what the data tells us about our region, and how the University of Cincinnati Cancer Center is responding, from improving screening uptake to advancing precision therapeutics.

Congratulations to the 2026 Dr. Peter Stambrook Pilot Grant awardees, Minzhe Guo, PhD and Eric Vick, MD, PhD. These awards are supported by the American Cancer Society Institutional Research Grant Program which funds pilot grant program specifically dedicated to early-stage investigators working in cancer-related fields.
