The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation’s (PCRF) vision is
to make it possible for all children facing childhood cancers to beat their
disease and achieve their full potential so they can live happy, healthy,
productive futures. Achieving this vision requires both honoring the progress we’ve
made and addressing the obstacles that stand before us.

To drive meaningful change, PCRF is guided by three
institutional priorities: Powering Research, Equitable Care, and Survivorship
& Mental Health. These priorities bring us closer to overcoming pediatric
cancer and enhancing the quality of life for all children and families impacted
by this disease.

Our investments prioritize the development of more effective
therapies with fewer short- and long-term side effects, while also exploring
the use of AI and advanced technologies to accelerate discovery and improve
patient outcomes. In parallel, PCRF continues to expand support for clinical
trials and research that address disparities in care, ensuring advancements are
accessible and effective for children of all ages, backgrounds, and communities.

These grants are designed to support Post-Doctoral
Fellowships and Clinical Investigator training for emerging pediatric cancer
researchers to pursue exciting research ideas.

Applicants must have completed two years of their fellowship
or not more than two years as a junior faculty instructor or assistant
professor at the start of the award period. These grants encourage and
cultivate the best and brightest researchers of the future.

Awards: up to $75,000 for one year
