2027 Impact Grants

Every Cancer. Every Community.

Track 1: Research grant or fellowship projects

For Track 1 of the 2027 Impact Grants cycle, the Foundation is supporting research projects focused on cancers without U.S. guideline-recommended screening methods for people of average risk. We seek to address a critical gap with potential for significant impact. Investing in research focused on cancer prevention, early detection, risk stratification and novel screening approaches for these cancers represents an opportunity to fundamentally change survival trajectories.

• Applications must be innovative and demonstrate near-term potential for impact on cancer prevention and early detection. We invite research applications that focus on the following cancer types:
  • Blood (leukemia/lymphoma)
  • Bone
  • Brain (central nervous system)
  • Esophageal
  • Head-and-neck
  • Liver
  • Ovarian
  • Pancreatic
  • Sarcomas (connective-tissue)
  • Stomach (gastric)
  • Uterine
• Applications focused on implementation science or population health that work with a specific community must include a Community Advisory Board component in the project.
• Applicant institutions/organizations must be based in the United States. Applicants need not be United States citizens.
• Research applications are limited to three submissions per institution. Institutions are defined by distinct EIN numbers.
• Grants will be awarded for two years at $50,000 per year, for a total of $100,000.

Foundation will accept applications from April 8 through May 20, 2026, at 5:00 p.m. ET. Applicants will be notified of a decision on December 4, 2026. Awarded projects begin on January 15, 2027.

The Prevent Cancer Foundation awards የጥናት ድጋፎች እና ህብረት to promising scientists for innovative projects with the potential to make substantial contributions to cancer prevention and early detection. This funding is critical to the future of cancer prevention as it fosters the next generation of cancer prevention research, creates a strong foundation of preliminary evidence to make scientific advances and provides the necessary support for research to move toward independent research careers.
