To allow additional time for proposal development and collaboration, we are extending the deadline for submission of Research Proposals to June 1. We recognize the importance of this opportunity and want to ensure all interested members have adequate time to prepare and submit strong proposals.
At MSHO, we believe that transformative cancer care begins with research that is inclusive, community-driven, and responsive to the real-world challenges faced by patients and providers. Through this call, we aim to support research that identifies barriers to care and clinical trial participation and offers actionable solutions that can improve outcomes statewide.
Priority Areas of Interest include:
Proposals should align with MSHO’s guiding principles of empowering patient voices, fostering collaboration across sectors, leveraging data to inform advocacy, and creating sustainable, scalable impact.
We encourage submissions from investigators across MSHO member academic institutions, community practices, and partner organizations who share a commitment to improving access and equity in cancer care.
Submission Deadline: April 1, 2026
Submission Instructions: Proposals must be submitted electronically to Mary Kay Makarewicz at mmakarewicz@msho.org.
Additional details regarding submission guidelines and review criteria can be found below. We look forward to supporting innovative research that helps shape the future of oncology care in Michigan.
