The Mark Foundation Emerging Leader Awards support innovative cancer research from the next generation of leaders. These grants are awarded to outstanding early career investigators to support high-impact, high-risk projects that are distinct from their current research portfolio.

• Projects for this award must be centered on evidence-based laboratory, data, and/or medical science.
• Proposed projects must not be supported by other sources of funding. Finalists will be asked to discuss any potential overlap with other current or pending awards during the interview.

The grant amount is $250,000 per year for three (3) years totaling $750,000.
