Prevent Cancer Foundation Fellowships
For over 30 years, the Prevent Cancer Foundation has been funding research grants and fellowships that demonstrate potential for impact on cancer prevention/early detection. The goal of the Research Program is to provide funding for innovative projects expected to lead to future funding from other peer-reviewed sources. The grants and fellowships selection process utilizes a research proposal review system similar to that of the National Institutes of Health.
For the 2022 cycle, we highly encourage proposals focused on melanoma prevention and early detection. This special grant or fellowship award will be in honor of former U.S. Congressman Victor “Vic” Fazio, who passed away recently from melanoma. Former Rep. Fazio served on the Foundation’s board of directors since 2015.
