The grant program of the BRB consists of a portfolio of approximately 150 funded grants, totaling $35,000,000 per year. The portfolio is currently handled by five Program Directors:
Dr. Rosemarie Aurigemma | 301-846-5002 | raurigemma@ncifcrf.gov |
Dr. Toby T. Hecht | 301-846-5692 | hecht@ncifcrf.gov |

Dr. Anthony Welch | 301-846-5691 | awelch@mail.ncifcrf.gov |
The subject matter of the funded grants in the BRB is in the area of biological agents and immunological concepts for cancer treatment. For example, monoclonal antibodies (conjugated and unconjugated), cytokines, vaccines, gene therapy using a variety of vectors, delivery of biological agents, adoptive immunotherapy, innate immunity, bone marrow transplantation (including GVHD and GVL effects), antisense and siRNA therapy, specific animal models, and combination therapies are some of the grants the BRB funds. Although most of the grants are preclinical, some early Phase I pilot trials are also funded.
The BRB also has an extensive Small Business grant program, which includes both Small Business Innovation Research (SBIR) and Small Business Technology Transfer Research (STTR) grants. The SBIR/STTR program provides grant support for businesses that meet specific criteria established by the Small Business Administration. The STTR program supports collaborative research efforts between small businesses and university partners.
