Description
This competitive grant program, offered by the Andy Hill Cancer Research Endowment (CARE Fund), is designed to catalyze transformative cancer research in Washington State. It funds innovative, high-risk/high-reward projects that have the potential to drive significant advances in cancer prevention, early detection, diagnosis, treatment, and improvement of patient outcomes. The grant welcomes research at the basic, discovery, or validation phase, including projects that address biological, behavioral, environmental, social, and structural factors impacting cancer health. Projects may also bridge early discoveries to commercialization of therapeutics, diagnostics, or interventions.
The program encourages population-based research to understand health determinants and disparities, but does not support proposals solely focused on data collection or service provision. All research must propose and explore a testable hypothesis.
