O’Neal Invests grants fund UAB investigators initiating new cancer-related projects to do key preliminary work to enable competitive extramural applications. Applications for the twelfth grant cycle were submitted in Fall 2026.

There are two O’Neal Invests RFAs per year, in the spring and fall. O’Neal Cancer Center membership is not a requirement to apply, but awardees must become members. The grants are peer-reviewed by a panel of UAB faculty.
