Overview

Emerging Scientist Awards

Program Focus: Support for highly qualified postdoctoral students to explore their own research ideas early in their careers

Purpose:
Children's Cancer Research Fund provides Emerging Scientist Awards to support young investigators who are postdoctoral students around the country. The program helps address the challenge that public funding for biomedical research has remained stagnant since the early 2000s, making it especially difficult for young researchers without extensive published research to compete for funding.
