Elsa U. Pardee Foundation

Applications are invited for one-year proposals that enable all the capabilities of a new cancer researcher or new cancer approach by an established cancer researcher to be established. The foundation anticipates that this early-stage funding may lead to subsequent and expanded support from a government agency or other source. In addition, the relevance of the project to cancer detection, treatment, or cure should be clearly identified.

Eligible applicants must be post-doctoral research investigators who are on the tenure track and have a tenured mentor are eligible to apply. Priority will be given to researchers at nonprofit institutions in the U.S. who are new to the field of cancer research, or to established research investigators examining new approaches to a cancer cure.
