Resource Page Template
The Research Office has developed a resource page template and a responsible conduct of research template designed to be used by UNTHSC faculty in NIH applications, although it may also be helpful for other granting agencies. Investigators should modify these pages to meet the needs of their specific proposal by adding or deleting sections as appropriate. The information contained on these pages will be updated on a regular basis by the Office of Strategic Research Initiatives (SRI).
To request updates or additions of new or existing resources at UNTHSC please e-mail the SRI at sri@unthsc.edu.

The State of Texas has established the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) to foster cancer research in Texas by providing financial support for a wide variety of projects relevant to cancer research. CPRIT expects outcomes of supported activities to directly or indirectly benefit subsequent cancer research efforts, cancer public health policy or the continuum of cancer care – from prevention to treatment and cure. Applications submitted may address any topic or issue related to cancer biology, causation, prevention, detection or screening, treatment or cure.
