  • Target Audience: American Indian and Alaska Native (AIAN) and/or Native Hawaiian and Other Pacific Islander (NHPI) patients and communities. Members of the health care team and administrators involved in the care of cancer patients.
  The intent of this grants program is to support quality improvement projects that reduce cancer treatment disparities and strengthen collaborations to improve cancer care for AIAN and NHPI individuals facing cancer. The proposed plan should include an assessment of barriers to equitable care developed in partnership with the AIAN and/or NHPI community during the planning phase. Partnership with the AIAN and/or NHPI community is required throughout project implementation (e.g. advisory committee, patient focus groups, coordination of care, educational initiatives that target health behavior change).

Nemirovsky Engineering and Medicine Opportunity (NEMO) Prize RFA

$125,000

Shelly and Ofer NemirovskyBiomedical EngineeringUSC’s Office of the Senior Vice President for Health Affairs is soliciting proposals for the Nemirovsky Engineering and Medicine Opportunity (NEMO) Prize, a highly selective prize designed to bridge the critical gap between ideas and clinical breakthroughs. Two $125,000 NEMO Prizes will be awarded annually. Originating with a generous gift from Shelly and Ofer Nemirovsky, the NEMO Prize is focused on supporting early-stage research at the intersection of health sciences and engineering that do not yet qualify for support by federal agencies and are not yet mature enough for private investment. The goal is to support true health-engineering collaborations. The most competitive applicants will have lead investigators with both health science and engineering expertise. Both new and ongoing collaborative teams are invited to apply. Letters of Intent will be due on May 2, 2025.   Eligibility Faculty and research investigators from USC and Children’s Hospital Los Angeles are eligible to apply. The most competitive applicants will have lead investigators with primary academic appointments in one of the health sciences schools and in the Viterbi School of Engineering. Early-stage or seasoned investigators can apply, however we encourage teams to include an early-stage investigator(s).   Information Sessions Join the following webinars for more information:
