To advance its mission, the Elsa U. Pardee Foundation is inviting applications from investigators at nonprofit institutions in the U.S. working on innovative research focused on identifying new treatments or cures for cancer.

The foundation encourages proposals for a one-year period that allow the capabilities of a new cancer researcher or new cancer approaches by an established cancer researcher to be established. The foundation anticipates that this early-stage funding may lead to subsequent and expanded support from a government agency or other source. The relevance of the project to cancer detection, treatment, or cure should be clearly identified.

Post-docs who are on the tenure track and have a tenured mentor are eligible to apply. Priority will be given to researchers at nonprofit institutions in the United States who are new to the field of cancer research, or to established research investigators examining new approaches to cancer cure.
