2026 ''R'' Accelerated Grant

The purpose of the R Accelerated Award Grant is to advance ALSF’s mission to find cures and better treatments for childhood cancers by providing support to scientists focused on pediatric oncology research. Applicants must have an original project that is not currently being funded and that has a clear focus on accelerating the discovery of more effective, less toxic therapies for childhood cancers.

The requested budget should be in proportion to the scope of the proposed project and should be for direct costs of $800,000 USD or below over 4 years. A maximum of $200,000 in total direct costs may be requested per year.
