Mission
At the Damon Runyon Cancer Research Foundation, our focus is singular: high-risk, high-reward cancer research. We support early career scientists with the brilliance and passion to push boundaries and break rules in pursuit of life-changing advances in cancer prevention, diagnosis, and treatment. By providing our scientists with the necessary funding resources when others do not, we enable them to bring their breakthrough ideas from whiteboards to reality. Our funding gives them the freedom to undertake risk today so that future generations may reap the rewards.
