Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation - Applications for 2009 Awards

Application Due Date: December 15, 2008



Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation is a unique not for profit foundation that has evolved from a young cancer patient's front yard lemonade stand to a nationwide fund raising movement for childhood cancer.

The Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation Grant Program is committed to eradicating childhood cancer through basic research, career development and helping to streamline translational clinical research. Grants distributed from Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation are designed to fill critical gaps in current pediatric cancer research.

There are four categories of applications that will be reviewed by the Scientific Advisory Board:

Program Infrastructure Awards

These are center based grants designed to support the infrastructure necessary to administer Phase 1 and 2 clinical trials.

Innovation Awards

These grants are designed as seed funding designed for mid-career investigators with a novel approach to pediatric cancer scientific investigation.

Young Investigator Awards

These grants are designed as start-up funds for new physician-scientists at the end of their fellowship training or early in their post-fellowship career.
