Synopsis:

This grant supports research teams to conduct translational cancer research to bring laboratory discoveries to the patient bedside.

 

All areas of cancer research are encouraged. For the 2015 Translational Program, The V Foundation has a special interest in supporting cancer research investigating cancers that are more prevalent or aggressive in specific ethnic populations (e.g. African Americans, Hispanic). Cancers in which ethnic and racial disparities have previously been shown to include: lung and bronchus, colon and rectum, breast, prostate, uterine, cervix, stomach and liver. A limited number of Translational Grants will be awarded in this area.
