St. Baldrick’s Research Grants are one-year awards for pediatric cancer researchers to conduct hypothesis-driven research to find new cures or improve treatments for childhood cancers. This research may be laboratory or clinical in nature. Some research grants focus on a single disease type, and others are designed to help children and teens with all types of childhood cancers. This year 14 St. Baldrick’s Research Grants were funded, totaling more than $1.3 million.
