Cannonball Kids' Cancer Foundation Research Grants (Clinical Trial & Young Investigator)

About this program

Cannonball Kids’ Cancer Foundation (CKc) funds innovative pediatric oncology research, prioritizing clinical trials, projects nearing translation to a clinical trial, and young investigator studies that improve quality of life or symptom relief compared with current treatments. Awards include Clinical Trial Grants ($200,000 over 3 years) and Young Investigator Grants ($100,000 over 3 years), with priority given to work on under‑funded cancers, underserved patient populations, and investigators from diverse backgrounds when possible. Applicants must submit an online Letter of Intent via ProposalCentral (LOI approval by CKc’s Scientific Advisory Board is required to access the full application) and propose novel, translational approaches with clear potential to reduce side effects or expand treatment options for children with cancer.
