CPI has partnered with Damon Runyon Research Foundation to promote research relevant to the development of molecular approaches (such as drugs and vaccines) for the prevention of inherited cancers. If an applicable proposal is selected by Damon Runyon’s award selection committee and approved by the Damon Runyon Board of Directors, CPI will co-fund the Fellowship Award.

Projects considered for funding by CPI are those that have the potential to make significant contributions to the development of chemo- or immuno-prevention measures that could reduce the risk of cancer in germline mutation carriers. Discovery research that could increase the understanding of early, pre-cancer stages are also considered. Visit the link below for more information on CPI’s funding priorities.
