“Congratulations to our newest ACS Research Grantees!
The American Cancer Society is pleased to announce a new investment of $38.5 million in cancer research through 92 new grant awards that will begin funding later this year. These grants support researchers tackling some of the most pressing challenges in cancer prevention, detection, treatment, survivorship, and access to care.
At a time of unprecedented demand for research funding, the American Cancer Society remains committed to investing in the bold ideas and exceptional scientists that move the field forward,
said William Dahut, Chief Scientific Officer of the American Cancer Society.
These awards reflect our belief that meaningful progress against cancer requires advances across the entire continuum of research, from understanding the biology of cancer to improving prevention, treatment, survivorship, and equitable access to care. We are grateful to our volunteer expert reviewers and supporters who make this work possible, and we are optimistic about the impact these investments will have in the years ahead.
Read the full announcement.
Progress against cancer is a shared effort, and partnerships help us amplify our impact by investing in outstanding researchers and innovative ideas that move the field forward.
Among the awards announced today are the first three fellows supported through the newly established ACS-Lisa Dean Moseley Foundation Postdoctoral Fellows Fund, an innovative collaboration designed to support the next generation of cancer researchers through funding, mentorship, professional development, and access to a national network of scientific leaders.
