Research Grants and Fellowships

About this program

Prevent Cancer Foundation awards research grants and fellowships to support innovative projects that advance cancer prevention and early detection, with emphasis on seeding preliminary evidence and accelerating translational work. Funding prioritizes promising scientists—particularly early-career investigators and postdoctoral fellows—whose projects have potential to build toward independent research careers. Applicants must propose work directly tied to cancer prevention or early detection and are generally required to apply through an institutional affiliation; specific eligibility criteria, deadlines, and application materials are detailed in each grant cycle and available from the Foundation.
