The Kuni Foundation is accepting applications for the Discovery Grants Program to advancing innovation in cancer research.
The Foundation embraces and supports cancer research that take a bold, collaborative and equity-focused approach and they consider informed risk a necessity. They also support research that continues to refine and improve existing approaches. The Discovery Grants Program funds early and late-stage cancer research in the quest for improved treatment and a cure.
Discovery Grants for Cancer Research are for organizations and programs based in Oregon or Washington. However, efforts that demonstrate collaboration and data sharing across a range of institutions and/or disciplines are highly encouraged.
