- Help address the shortage of scientists dedicated to pediatric cancer research by encouraging more basic and clinical researchers to focus on childhood cancers.
- Fund high risk/high reward ideas with the potential to revolutionize our understanding of or the prevention, diagnosis or treatment of one or more forms of cancer.
- Support new generations of physician-scientists dedicated to transforming laboratory discoveries into new, more effective treatments for patients.
- Fund new generations of top young basic discovery researchers exploring fundamental questions about what causes and drives cancer, while they complete their training in partnership with a senior mentor.
