Investigator Tools Education, Training and Research Support

Tools for Investigators

One of our core goals is to prepare a diverse group of trainees to conduct cancer research in the context of laboratory, clinical, and community settings that impact New Mexico.

The UNM Comprehensive Cancer Center offers numerous resources to all research members.

Training, Funding and Membership

We’re pleased to offer investigators training resources, funding opportunities and guidance for pilot projects, and cancer center research membership.

Regional Support

STEAM supports research and educational activities that complement and enhance the training of underrepresented individuals in the Cancer Biomedical Workforce.

Pilot Projects

Submit your proposal for evaluation, feedback and funding support.

Research Membership

Our research members conduct research in one of three NCI programs.

Data Resources

American Indians and Alaska Natives (AIAN) living in different regions of the United States get and die from cancer at different rates. Visit the AIAN site for cancer surveillance data and educational information to support cancer control efforts in AIAN communities across the United States.
