Deadline: 10-Apr-25
The Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation is accepting applications for the Reach Grant Program to remove the barriers by providing support for important pre-clinical hypothesis-driven research projects that are necessary to move a study from the preclinical arena into a clinical trial.
Thus, the goal of this award is to support translational studies that will result in a phase I and/or II clinical trial, two to three years from the project end date. Examples of appropriate research projects include but aren’t limited to, completing IND-enabling studies, providing requisite pre-clinical data for clinical trial development, or validating biomarkers that will enable patient selection for new clinical trials.
