Elsa U. Pardee Foundation

Elsa U. Pardee Foundation grants are devoted to cancer research with about $108 million given to nearly 300 different institutions across the United States since 1944. Initially, ongoing research programs at well-known cancer institutes such as Memorial Sloan-Kettering took center stage. By the 1950s, however, the Foundation’s trustees recognized a critical oversight: new scientists with cutting-edge ideas were often denied private and government funding simply because they were unknown. The Elsa U. Pardee Foundation boldly broke tradition by considering their grant proposals and funding the most innovative approaches to conquering cancer – a practice which continues to set this Foundation apart. As the proposals grew more complex, the Foundation formed a Medical Committee of specialists to manage the process. Today, the Foundation evaluates more than 300 proposals annually.

All opportunities from Elsa U. Pardee Foundation are published on DevelopmentAid under Funding Agency "NGO".
