Description
Cookies for Kids’ Cancer’s Clinical and Translational Research Awards support peer-reviewed, cutting-edge research at leading children’s cancer centers. The program seeks novel, innovative projects of high scientific merit, placing particular emphasis on clinical relevance and the likelihood that research will translate into a clinical investigation within 12–24 months of receiving funding.
The foundation was established by a mother inspired by her son’s fight against cancer and supports research toward less toxic, more effective pediatric cancer treatments. Its Scientific Advisory Board reviews eligible proposals. The awards connect this mission with research that has a near-term path toward clinical study, and the foundation follows funded work through progress reports and may request updates on resulting clinical trials.
