Childhood Cancer Research

Phase I/II Infrastructure Grants

Doctors have identified a critical lack of funding for support personnel who speed up the process of enrolling children with cancer in clinical trials. With grants from Alex's Lemonade Stand Foundation, hospitals across the country have created new positions, specifically focused on filling this critical need, bringing the latest treatments to more children.

Please note that the Phase I/II Infrastructure grant is not offered every year. Please view our Grants Calendar for upcoming grant opportunities.

This grant is no longer offered.
