Description
Gabrielle's Angel Foundation for Cancer Research supports early-career scientists conducting research on leukemia, lymphoma, and related cancers of the blood. Its Medical Research Awards fund prevention, detection, and treatment studies, prioritizing work most likely to translate into clinical trials within three to five years. The program supports both conventional scientific research and integrative approaches involving complementary therapies or botanical agents.
Integrative projects may explore evidence-based interventions that improve mainstream care or reduce patients’ physical and emotional distress during or after cancer therapy. Examples include acupuncture, mind-body interventions, massage, meditation, music therapy, nutrition, physical fitness, yoga, and biologically based agents used in nonconventional ways. Both clinical trials and preclinical research may be supported.
