SU2C Innovative Research Grants

The Stand Up To Cancer (SU2C) Innovative Research Grants Program is an effort to support the next generation of cancer research leaders in their quest to conquer cancer. It was established in honor of the late Judah Folkman, MD, to recognize him as one of the great innovators in cancer research, an outstanding teacher of young investigators, and an early contributor to the SU2C project.

The 2017 SU2C Innovative Research Grants are focused on immuno-oncology in a program funded by a grant from Bristol-Myers Squibb (BMS).
