The Prevent Cancer Foundation is the only U.S.-based nonprofit organization solely dedicated to cancer prevention and early detection. Our mission is empowering people to stay ahead of cancer through prevention and early detection. Our vision is a world where cancer is preventable, detectable and beatable for all. The Foundation funds important research grants and fellowships at some of the most prestigious academic institutions and medical cancer centers across the U.S.

The Foundation funds research projects that reduce the frequency of neoplasms including but not limited to brain, bladder, breast, colon and rectum, endometrium, head and neck, kidney, liver, lung, ovary, pancreas, prostate, skin (including melanoma), stomach as well as HPV related cancers and hematologic malignancies. The award amount is $50,000 per year for two years and the grant is generally for researchers at the Instructor or Assistant Professor level but can be awarded to senior researchers who need seed funding to evaluate an innovative cancer prevention or early detection hypothesis.
