St. Baldrick’s Foundation Infrastructure Award

About this program

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation offers one-year Infrastructure Awards of $25,000–$50,000 to support personnel, preferably clinical research associates, or resources that enable institutions to expand participation in childhood cancer clinical trials. Funding is intended for smaller, high-need U.S. institutions facing resource barriers, particularly those serving populations with limited clinical-trial access and lacking other philanthropic support. Applicants must hold an M.D./D.O. or Ph.D., be based at a U.S. Children’s Oncology Group institution or an institution applying for COG membership, and submit only one application as lead PI per cycle. Letters of intent are due July 9, 2026, and full proposals are due August 28, 2026, by 5 p.m. ET through ProposalCentral.
