Clinical Study
LOS ANGELES, Nov. 21, 2022 /PRNewswire/ -- St. Baldrick's Foundation, the nation's largest charitable funder of childhood cancer research grants, is proud to announce its newest round of infrastructure grants amounting to more than $1.2 million. Twenty-seven grants were awarded across 20 states to expand patient access to pediatric cancer clinical trials and to accelerate scientific discoveries to conquer kids' cancer.
Made possible by St. Baldricks volunteers and generous donors, these grants are critical to ensuring that more kids are treated on clinical trials – often a child's last chance for a cure.
Clinical trials are the last stage of research, leading to new approved drugs and/or therapies that improve the quality of life for patients and survivors. The Foundation's infrastructure grants support programs and the personnel necessary to open and coordinate clinical trials.
"Research is hope and the dedication and generosity of the St. Baldrick's community equips researchers to save children's lives," said Kathleen Ruddy, St. Baldrick's CEO. "Countless children are alive today because of volunteers, donors, and researchers. Together, they make more childhood cancer survivors."
The latest grants bring the total of research funded by the St. Baldrick's Foundation to $324 million and 1,701 grants since 2005.
