Description
This grant supports pre-clinical, hypothesis-driven research projects in childhood cancer that are critical for translating innovative ideas into clinical applications. The primary aim is to help move promising research toward phase I and/or II clinical trials within two to three years after project completion. Projects should be milestone-driven and feasible, with strong preliminary data and a clear clinical trial development plan. The program encourages collaborative proposals and resource sharing to maximize research impact.
