Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation Offers Support for Young Researchers in Pediatric Oncology
Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, a nonprofit organization that evolved from the front-yard lemonade stand of cancer patient Alexandra "Alex" Scott (1996-2004) into a national fundraising movement to find a cure for all childhood cancer, makes grants designed to help fill critical voids in current pediatric cancer research.
The foundation's "A" Award is a three-year grant designed for young scientists who want to jump-start their career in pediatric oncology research. The ideal candidate has an original project that is not currently being funded. Demonstration of outstanding mentorship and a future commitment to pediatric cancer investigation are critical components of a successful application.
Candidates may have their M.D., Ph.D., or M.D./Ph.D., and must not have achieved an appointment higher than assistant professor. Funds must be granted to nonprofit institutions or organizations operating in the United States or Canada. Researchers need not be U.S. citizens.
The grant provides $125,000 a year for three years.
