Details:
The mission is to empower people to stay ahead of cancer through prevention and early detection. This funding is critical to the future of cancer prevention as it fosters the next generation of cancer prevention research, creates a strong foundation of preliminary evidence to make scientific advances and provides the necessary support for research to move toward independent research careers.
Research Tracks
- Translational Research: Focuses on translating research findings from the lab into the clinic /community, encompassing various stages of research and development.
- Implementation/Dissemination Science: Focuses on the methods and strategies used to promote the adoption of research findings and evidence-based practice into real world practice.
- Population Health: Explores the causes of cancer, cancer trends and factors that affect the delivery and outcomes of cancer care in specific populations.
- the role of environmental, behavioral and genetic factors.
- Clinical Trials and related studies: Involves studies on humans or animals to evaluate new medical treatments, diagnostic methods, preventative strategies and other interventions to improve all aspects of care.

Eligibility Criteria
- Grant Applicants
- Applications must fall within the scope of the Foundation’s mission and funding priorities to be considered. The issue of relevance to cancer prevention or early detection must be convincingly addressed in the application.
- The goal of the Foundation’s research program is to provide funding for innovative projects expected to lead to future funding from other peer-reviewed sources.
- All applications must demonstrate substantial near-term potential for impact on cancer prevention or early detection. Pre-clinical research with clear applicability to cancer prevention/early detection is acceptable, provided a translational relationship is evident within 5 years.
- Applicants need not be United States citizens. However, research must be conducted primarily in the United States.
- Fellowship Applicants
- Fellowship applications must include information about the –
- Training environment
- Course work (minimal requirement to take one to two courses per year (for a grade)
