The Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation Reach Grant is designed to move hypothesis-driven pediatric cancer research toward the clinic. It specifically supports projects that identify an unmet clinical need in pediatric oncology and show how the proposed work will enable translation into clinical testing or implementation. The program sits within ALSF’s Accelerator Programs, which are intended to push promising childhood cancer research closer to patient benefit. The award provides a maximum of $250,000 in total costs over two years.
Eligibility Criteria:
- Applicants must propose pediatric oncology research with a clear translational path toward the clinic.
- The project must address an unmet clinical need relevant to children with cancer.
