Eligibility Criteria
These grants are not for a specific research project, but rather for personnel (i.e., a clinical research associate) or resources to allow more research to be done. These grants are intended for institutions with the potential to participate significantly more in childhood cancer clinical trials, but which are smaller or have barriers to greater participation due to a lack of resources. Applications to support Clinical Research Associate (CRA) type positions are preferred. Preference is given to institutions with high needs and low philanthropic support in geographical areas where St. Baldrick’s funds are raised. Institutions which do not currently receive other St. Baldrick’s grants are also given preference.
- During each grant cycle, an applicant can only apply once as the lead Principal Investigator.
- Institutions must be located in the United States.
- Applicants need not be American citizens; however, they must work at an academic, medical, or non-profit research institution within the United States.
- Institutions may submit only one (1Year) new Infrastructure application per year
- Note: The limited submissions policy exception detailed in other program guidelines is not applicable for Infrastructure awards.
- A program/institution is defined as an entity essentially operating under one management.
- Applicants should hold at least an M.D./D.O or Ph.D. degree by the date the award becomes effective.

- These grants are intended for institutions with the potential to participate significantly more in childhood cancer clinical trials, but which are smaller or have barriers to greater participation due to a lack of resources.

The applicant should indicate how ongoing personnel costs will be funded in future years.
- Preference is given to institutions with high needs and low philanthropic support in areas where St. Baldrick’s funds are raised, especially with institutional involvement.
- Preference is given to institutions that serve populations which have limited access to participation in clinical trials.
- Preference is given to institutions which have not received other SBF funding for at least one (1) year.

Participation may include speaking at an event or to the media on behalf of St. Baldrick’s, helping identify volunteers or families of kids with cancer to honor, hosting a group of volunteers to learn more about the cause, participating in a favorite activity to raise funds for pediatric cancer research (i.e. running, walking, climbing a mountain, hosting another event, etc.), head-shaving, and more.
- Applications for personnel to help increase clinical trial participation are preferred.
- St. Baldrick’s Foundation funds may not be used for human embryonic stem cell research.
- All awards will be payable to the research institution (or to its foundation or funding arm) to administer for the purposes of this grant only.
