Summary: Supports established investigators advancing innovative, unfunded pediatric oncology research toward more effective, less toxic childhood cancer therapies.
The R Accelerated Award Grants from Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) are designed to drive innovative research in pediatric oncology, particularly projects that have not yet received NIH funding. This program targets established investigators with a strong track record in pediatric cancer research, aiming to accelerate the discovery and development of more effective and less toxic therapies for childhood cancers. Projects must be original, hypothesis-driven, and aligned with ALSF’s mission to improve outcomes for children with cancer.
