A well-planned grant or gift from a large, medium or small foundation can serve as a catalyst for innovations and new initiatives in cancer research.

From research equipment and laboratories to seed money for pilot projects and support of fellows, foundation grants make a huge difference at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center.

Thanks to the foundations who have supported us.

Examples of projects supported recently by foundation grants:

• A new approach for identifying and understanding the genetic basis of solid tumors, including large-scale sequencing of the human genome
• New cancer coding software in the Public Health Sciences Division, in order to share population-based information that can help prevent and control cancer
• Recruitment monies for scientists and equipment to propel a major new center-wide initiative in breast, prostate and colon cancer research
• Support for pediatric oncology training
• Effects of exercise and diet in cancer prevention among women
• Support for fellowships in interdisciplinary cancer research
