Seed Grant Program

The Need for ROS1+ Research

ROS1+ cancer is rare, occurring in only 1%-2% or non-small cell lung cancer cases--this means fewer than 2000 cases are diagnosed in the USA each year. Many oncologists will never meet a patient who has ROS1+ lung cancer, and few clinics will see enough ROS1+ patients to be able to gather data on a sizeable cohort. But it is research that saves lives. It is for this reason that the ROS1ders created the ROS1+ Cancer Innovation Award.

​

What We Fund

The ROS1+ Cancer Innovation Award seeks high-risk, high-reward research projects focused on ROS1+ cancer. The award provides a one-year grant of up to $75,000 to fund pre-clinical, translational, or clinical research critical to improve outcomes for ROS1+ cancer..The program is open to investigators who hold a doctorate and a faculty appointment anywhere in the world.
