The Prevent Cancer Foundation awards research grants and fellowships 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.
Indem wir in Innovationen investieren, gestalten wir gemeinsam die Zukunft.
10-year Research Grant and Fellowship Impact
Between 2014 and 2023, $8.1 million in research funding was issued to support 83 grants and fellowships. 59 institutions were represented in this funding. The return from this investment was:
External grants & fellowships received by awardees
Additional cancer research funding received by awardees
Peer reviewed publications authored by awardees post funding
Limor Appelbaum, M.D.
“The funding from the Prevent Cancer Foundation has been instrumental in fostering my professional development. I have been able to expand my research endeavors to develop an enhanced pancreatic cancer risk prediction model, leveraging data from a vast network comprising multiple institutions.”
2021 Grantee
Artit Jirapatnakul, Ph.D.
“I was awarded an R21 grant from NIOSH-CDC in 2021, a 2-year grant for approximately $500k in total costs. I attribute my success in obtaining the R21 grant to the Foundation, both from the research that the Foundation enabled as well as the Foundation’s grant application process and feedback from the Foundation’s reviewers.”
