The program encourages projects evaluating novel targets, exploring new approaches to validated targets, or applying new technology toward early detection and prevention. Potential patient impact is a central selection priority.
The grant supports the Foundation’s goal of moving promising early-stage science toward earlier diagnosis and better treatment.
