Education, Training, and Funding Opportunities

At the Harvard T.H. Chan Center for Global Cancer Prevention, we are dedicated to investing in resources that will train the next generation of prevention and early detection researchers. We believe in bringing together institutions to form a multidisciplinary, multi-institutional group to discuss problems, develop collaborations, and to identify priorities for research across the field of cancer prevention and early detection.

Zhu Center Training Grants and Awards

Zhu Center PEER Award Prevention and Early Detection for Emerging Researchers (PEER) Awards are designed to encourage and support the scientific career development of Harvard Chan School Assistant and Associate Professors on the tenure ladder. To advance this goal, we will solicit proposals for pilot projects that will provide faculty the opportunity to develop their research ideas, collect pilot data, or conduct secondary data analysis to be used as pilot data. Although not required, we are particularly interested in proposals that are interdisciplinary in nature. The award is intended to maximize faculty competitiveness for extramural funding by allowing faculty to develop innovative and novel ideas/methods.
