Description

The Pershing Square Sohn Cancer Research Alliance Initiative provides substantial funding to early-career scientists pursuing bold, high-risk, and high-reward projects in cancer research. The program aims to accelerate breakthroughs by supporting independent investigators at a pivotal stage in their careers, enabling them to pursue ideas that may not be eligible for traditional funding. In addition to funding, awardees join a collaborative network, gaining access to mentorship, industry connections, and opportunities to present their work at conferences and events. The initiative is open to researchers at academic institutions across the United States.
