The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation

 The Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation awards four types of grants:

Basic Research or "PCRF Labratory" Grant.  This type of grant primarily funds basic science, translational and/or clinical state of the art pediatric cancer research initiatives.  This grant can be awarded over multiple years and up to $1 million/year.

Translational Research Grant. This type of grant primarily funds new research protocols and therapies that hold promise for improved outcomes and accelerates cures from the laboratory bench to the bedside of children and teens with high-risk cancers. This Grant will be given to a program that involves open, multi-institutional cancer clinical trials, or consortia, and implements new approaches to therapy. This award may provide up to $250,000 per year and can be for multiple years.

High Impact Grant. These grants are designed to fill the critical need for start-up funds for researchers to pursue promising research ideas. These grants encourage and cultivate the best and brightest researchers of the future and may lead to long term commitments to research projects. Awards will provide up to a maximum of $75,000 per year and can be renewed annually.

Designated Grant Program.  Funds projects in communities or regions local to the specific donor or fundraising activity. Outside contributing organizations, fundraisers and donors work with the Foundation to identify a specific project, facility or awareness program. Grants can be for any specific amount, but generally range from $25,000 to $50,000 per year and are renewed annually.

Applications will be accepted through May 1st of each year.
