The AACR-St. Baldrick's Foundation Award for Outstanding Achievement in Pediatric Cancer Research has been established to bring attention to major research discoveries to the pediatric cancer research community and to honor an individual in any sector who has significantly contributed to any area of pediatric cancer research, resulting in the fundamental improvement of the understanding and/or treatment of pediatric cancer. The recipient will nominate an emerging leader conducting research in the academic sector to receive a research grant. The 2024 SBF-AACR Award for Outstanding Achievement in Pediatric Cancer Research went to Dr. Ching-Hon Pui at St. Jude Children's Hospital. Dr. Shawn Lee at National University of Singapore received the 2024 research grant. Dr. Lee's research interests are in pharmacogenomics, immunogenomics and leukemia.

Proceeds raised through St. Baldrick's head-shaving events in Singapore now proudly support the Duke-NUS Graduate Medical School Singapore (Duke- NUS) Pediatric Cancer Research Fund, a project which aims to uncover underlying causes of osteosarcoma (bone cancer), with the hope that this will lead to improved treatments.
