Guidelines for Qualifying Applicants:

Each grant is reviewed by our Medical Advisory Board and recipients are selected based on their grading.

Goal and Focus:

The goal of these grants is to overcome barriers to clinical application of new treatment approaches for childhood cancer. A priority is to fund projects that have already shown great promise, but that have a specific funding need to move forward. The three main focus areas for this RFP are:

  • Cancer immunotherapy/Targeted therapy
  • High-grade brain tumors or other difficult-to-treat pediatric cancers
  • Epigenetic modifying therapy or gene editing

Applications of novel technologies in these areas are welcome.

 

General Guidelines and Eligibility:

  • Limit of one application per institution with endorsement of the Division Chief of Pediatric Hematology-Oncology
  • Two types of one-year grants will be awarded:

    • Collaborative: Up to 1 multi-institutional collaborative grant of $300,000 will be awarded
      • There must be at least 2 collaborating divisions of pediatric hematology/oncology.
      • Collaborative project can either include a new proposal or a proposal where preliminary data has already been gathered
    • Individual: 2-4 individual grants of $150,000 each will be awarded

    *Applications to fund correlative studies associated with clinical trials in the focus areas will be considered. Funding for the associated clinical trial must have already been secured and applications must include a description of the developmental pathway for the therapeutic approach.
