Two Opportunities from the Pablove Foundation

LOI Window: May 15-July 1, 2024

The Pablove Foundation invites pediatric cancer researchers to apply for our Powered by Pablove Seed Grant Program, which provides funds to conduct innovative, cutting-edge investigations, with preferences going toward less common childhood cancers. In addition, projects that focus on Opsoclonus-Myoclonus Syndrome (OMS) will be considered. Our seed grants serve to advance the work of our researchers to qualify for larger grants, federal funding, and clinical trials. The Pablove Foundation is interested in principal investigators who will join us in taking risks, pushing for new solutions, and harnessing the transformative power of science in their research in the following broad areas:

  • Mechanisms of Disease
  • Genetics
  • Preclinical Models
  • Biomarkers and Surrogate Markers
  • Prognostic Factors
  • Diagnosis
  • Innovative Clinical Therapeutic Trials
  • Minimal Residual Disease Detection
  • Treatment
  • Supportive Care and Prevention
  • Amelioration of Long-Term Effects of Therapy

By seeking answers and adding to the body of knowledge in pediatric cancer research, The Pablove Foundation will make an impact on the lives of children who are affected by childhood cancer.

Two Opportunities

The Pablove Foundation is offering two (2) separate grant opportunities this year. 

Powered by Pablove Seed Grants provide $50,000 in direct costs for one (1) year of funding.

Upon timely submission of the required deliverables, an additional 5% of the award amount (up to $5,000) will be provided to the sponsoring institutions to cover indirect costs (F&A) at the end of the grant’s performance period.

Eligibility:
  • Researchers currently towards the end of their clinical fellowship or postdoctoral training or within five years of completion of training.
