The Mark Foundation for Cancer Research Endeavor Award

The Mark Foundation Endeavor Awards support collaborative research projects that bring together investigators with diverse areas of expertise to tackle challenges in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. These grants are awarded to teams of three or more investigators to generate and integrate data from diverse lines of research and to achieve breakthroughs in cancer biology, carcinogenesis, prevention, and therapies that individual efforts cannot accomplish alone.

*Submission Limit: Institutions are limited to one or two submissions as a host institution:

• The first submission may address any cancer type;
• A second submission will be accepted only for a translational or clinical stage project that primarily focuses on one of the following four cancer types: Upper GI, glioblastoma, pancreatic, or triple-negative breast cancer.

Institutional Limit: Up to two (2) LOIs (*see note)
