Grant Info

Since 1968, Concern Foundation has funded well over 550 pediatric and adult cancer researchers worldwide studying many forms of cancer, primarily in the areas of immunology, immunotherapy, and the genetics of cancer.

Concern specifically funds researchers who lack financial support for their first major research project and provides critically needed start up funds for promising projects.  By focusing funding to new investigators, Concern helps to bridge a gap that currently exists in the scientific research community.  It is difficult for new investigators to obtain initial grants from major funding sources without sound data.  At the same time, it is difficult to obtain sound data without funding.
