St. Baldrick’s Infrastructure Grant 2025

The St. Baldrick’s Foundation is accepting Letters of Intent for its 2025 Infrastructure Grant, providing $25,000–$50,000 to institutions seeking to expand their capacity to participate in pediatric cancer clinical trials. This grant is not for a specific research project, but for personnel and resources—most often a Clinical Research Associate (CRA)—to help accelerate clinical research access and inclusion.

Who is eligible?

Applicants must:

Work at a U.S.-based nonprofit, academic, or medical institution
Be part of a Children’s Oncology Group (COG) institution (or applying for membership)
Hold a PhD, MD, DO, or equivalent by the grant start date
Demonstrate institutional barriers to greater clinical trial participation
Not actively promote non-St. Baldrick’s head-shaving fundraisers
Have not received other St. Baldrick’s funding within the past year (preferred)
Serve populations with limited clinical trial access or be in areas of low philanthropic support

Funding at a glance:

25,000–50,000 USD for 1 year
Supports personnel (e.g., CRA), fringe benefits, and modest direct costs
No indirect/overhead costs allowed
Travel, equipment (not in original budget), tuition, admin salaries, and patient services are excluded

Funding focus:

This grant helps smaller or under-resourced institutions overcome structural limitations to expand their clinical trial enrollment capabilities. Strong preference is given to:

First-time or returning applicants without current St. Baldrick’s funding
Institutions in underserved or underfunded regions
Facilities with local involvement in St. Baldrick’s fundraising and community events

Key deadlines:

Letter of Intent Due: July 8, 2025 (5 PM ET)
Full Proposal Due: August 28, 2025 (5 PM ET, by invitation)
Award Notification: By November 30, 2025
Award Start Date: December 1, 2025 or January 1, 2026

Where to apply:

Apply via ProposalCentral. LOI and applications must be submitted online using St. Baldrick’s specific instructions and templates.
