Description
The Elsa U. Pardee Foundation funds research directed toward identifying new treatments or cures for cancer. Its one-year grants help new cancer researchers establish their capabilities and established investigators test new approaches. Applicants must clearly identify how their projects relate to cancer detection, treatment, or cure.
The foundation particularly welcomes innovative, small-scale, short-term projects that may be difficult to fund elsewhere before initial results are available. It does not favor a particular type of cancer research or diagnostic, treatment, or preventive research. The foundation anticipates that promising early-stage work may lead to expanded support from government agencies.
