Cancer Research Scholar Grants

About this program

The American Cancer Society offers Cancer Research Scholar Grants to support independent researchers in exploring investigator-initiated projects across the cancer research continuum, provided they align with the Society's priority areas. Funding typically covers salaries, consumable supplies, and miscellaneous research expenses. Applicants must be affiliated with a U.S. academic institution or eligible non-profit organization, and their institutions must provide the necessary resources for independent research. There is no specified deadline or funding amount, and the opportunity is currently open.
