If you are actively involved in cancer research through laboratory, clinical or community studies, we invite you to submit an application to Cancer League for funding of a worthy research project. Grants are of two types: research and fellowship.

It should be noted that Cancer League emphasizes funding of innovative studies, collaborative or inter-institutional research in its formative stages, and pilot projects. Cancer League grants are not intended to substitute for or supplement conventional granting mechanisms. Thus, applications already submitted for funding elsewhere, or those for support of on-going or established research projects will not be considered without adequate justification.

Application for the current year must be received by Wednesday, March 12, 2008 and must adhere strictly to Cancer League instructions.

Applications that do not conform to the requirements may be returned without review. Recipients of grant funding from Cancer League will be notified by June 30, 2008.

Send application to:
