CPRIT High-Impact/High-Risk Research Awards

The High-Impact/High-Risk Research Award (HIHRA) supports research that explore the feasibility of high-risk projects that, if successful, would contribute to major new insights into the etiology, diagnosis, treatment, or prevention of cancers. 

Using this mechanism, the Cancer Prevention and Research Institute of Texas (CPRIT) intends to support innovative, developmental projects that focus on exceptionally promising topics that are not yet sufficiently mature to compete successfully for more conventional funding.

The HIHRA is expected to provide the foundation and preliminary data for individual or multiple investigator peer-reviewed awards.
