Breast Cancer Research Grants have been are awarded with the potential to yield significant medical breakthroughs in the cause and prevention of breast cancer, prevention of metastasis, and cure.
In 2026, we expanded this commitment by launching a Gynecologic Cancer Research Initiative. This initiative will award up to two grants each year to researchers in New York State investigating screening and early detection, cause, prevention, prevention of metastasis and cure of any type of gynecologic cancer.
These seed grants are intended to fund innovative research projects that have the potential to yield significant medical breakthroughs.
