Description
The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation (PCRF) funds childhood cancer research aimed at bringing promising, life-saving treatments to children sooner. Working directly with doctors, researchers, and nurses, the foundation identifies obstacles to developing treatments and caring for children with cancer. Its priorities are Powering Research, Equitable Care, and Survivorship & Mental Health.
PCRF emphasizes more effective therapies with fewer short- and long-term side effects, AI and advanced technologies that accelerate discovery, clinical trials, and research addressing disparities in care. The program includes Emerging Investigator Fellowship, Translational Research, Legacy Researcher, and Designated Grant categories. The 2026 solicitation supported Emerging Investigators exclusively; PCRF plans to reopen the full grant cycle in 2027, including Translational and Legacy Researcher grants and additional opportunities.
