Each year, the President proclaims April as “Cancer Control Month” in order to highlight advances against cancer and rededicate the nation to fighting this disease. Despite this progress, cancer continues to kill more Americans than any other malady but heart disease. One of the best ways to recommit to the battle against cancer is to emphasize the funding of medical research.
SU2C’s (Stand up to Cancer) unique funding model, developed with the help of prominent cancer researchers who know the traditional system of funding inside and out, encourages collaboration and innovation via two new types of scientific grants.
1. Dream Team grants are awarded to multi-institutional, collaborative groups of scientists working together instead of in competition with one another to bring cutting-edge translational research to the patients who need it most in an accelerated timeframe.

2. Innovative Research Grants foster cutting-edge cancer research with strong potential to impact patient care within a short timeframe – projects that are high-risk but could also be high-impact.
