Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Wisconsin's Grant to Discovery Boost Program for Cancer Research
The Grant to Discovery Boost Program for Cancer Research, funded by the Banking Institution, aims to support high-risk, high-reward exploratory cancer research across the research continuum in Wisconsin. The program's priority outcomes are closely tied to the state's distinct cancer research landscape and the needs of its population.
Addressing Wisconsin's Cancer Burden
Wisconsin faces a significant cancer burden, with the state's rural areas and Native American communities experiencing higher incidence and mortality rates compared to urban areas. The Wisconsin Department of Health Services reports that cancer is the second leading cause of death in the state. To address this issue, the Grant to Discovery Boost Program prioritizes research that focuses on cancer prevention, early detection, and treatment, particularly in underserved communities. Researchers applying for this grant should focus on outcomes that improve cancer outcomes in Wisconsin's rural and Native American populations, such as developing culturally sensitive cancer screening programs or investigating novel therapeutic approaches.
Fostering Innovation in Cancer Research
The grant program also prioritizes outcomes that foster innovation in cancer research, aligning with the state's strong research infrastructure. Wisconsin is home to the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center, a National Cancer Institute-designated Comprehensive Cancer Center, and the Medical College of Wisconsin's Cancer Center. These institutions have a track record of conducting cutting-edge cancer research, and the grant program seeks to build on this momentum. Priority outcomes in this area include the development of new research methodologies, establishment of feasibility for novel cancer therapies, and successful pilot tests of innovative cancer treatments. By supporting innovative cancer research, the grant program aims to drive progress in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment, ultimately improving health outcomes for Wisconsinites.
Wisconsin Fast Forward grant programs have shown success in supporting business growth and job creation in the state. Similarly, the Grant to Discovery Boost Program for Cancer Research is expected to drive economic growth by supporting research that translates into new treatments and therapies. Applicants should demonstrate how their research aligns with the state's economic development goals and how it will contribute to the growth of the life sciences industry in Wisconsin.
Grants for nonprofits in Wisconsin and wisconsin grants for individuals are available through various programs, but the Grant to Discovery Boost Program is specifically designed to support cancer research.

Q: What are the most common types of cancer research funded by the Grant to Discovery Boost Program in Wisconsin? A: The program has funded research on various types of cancer, including breast, lung, and colon cancer, with a focus on projects that address the state's specific cancer burden.
Q: How do I find out if my research project is eligible for the Grant to Discovery Boost Program? A: Applicants should review the program's eligibility criteria and consult with the Wisconsin Department of Health Services or the Banking Institution to determine whether their project aligns with the program's priority outcomes.
Q: Can I apply for the Grant to Discovery Boost Program if I am based outside of Wisconsin but have a research collaboration with a Wisconsin-based institution? A: Yes, researchers based outside of Wisconsin can apply for the grant if they have a significant research collaboration with a Wisconsin-based institution, such as the University of Wisconsin Carbone Cancer Center or the Medical College of Wisconsin's Cancer Center.
