By providing the University of Minnesota Cancer Center with funds for investigating new and promising research areas, we enable its researchers to gather the preliminary data needed to secure larger national grants from organizations such as the National Cancer Institute and the National Institutes of Health.
Once we’ve helped the researchers secure these grants, they can move their work forward into clinical trials and eventually, into routine medical practice.
The end result is that every dollar we provide in research support generates $15 to $20 in national grant funding, creating an even bigger impact in the fight against childhood cancer.
