The Prevent Cancer Foundation is accepting applications for its Research Grants and Fellowships Program.
The Foundation funds important research grants and fellowships at a broad range of academic institutions and cancer centers across the U.S., including both well-established and rising institutions advancing cancer research.
The goal of the Prevent Cancer Foundation’s research program is to identify and to provide funding for innovative projects with the potential to make substantial contributions to cancer prevention or early detection. By funding the most promising research, including fellowship projects led by early career scientists, they contribute to important advances in cancer prevention and early detection.
