MIDDLE EAST CANCER CONSORTIUM:
Mechanism of SupportThe MECC Small Grants Program involves limited funds (up to US$15,000. per year per individual principal investigator) to support project-based efforts of up to two-year’s duration. Proposals involve investigators only from the five MECC signatories. A single application may request up to U.S.$15,000 for each principal investigator per annum -- one Principal Investigator per each eligible signatory. That is, for example, if a joint application is received from 3 principal investigators representing three signatories, the total budget request for the first year may be up to US$45,000 etc. The duration of an individual project could last up to two years.
These award costs are for direct costs incurred in the conduct of the project only. No overhead or indirect costs are allowed.
The time period covered by the grant will be determined by the study design of the proposed or ongoing project. Proposed project lengths must be justified in the study design up to a maximum of 24 months.
Applicants will be responsible for all facets of the proposed project, including the planning, direction, and execution of the proposed work. The chances of success in obtaining an award will depend on the number of applications submitted and their overall merit and cost. It is anticipated that renewal applications will be considered for successful grantees, but this is dependent on the future availablility of funds for the program.
