Research in Action

The V Foundation invests in all-star researchers to make a big impact in the cancer research community. For many researchers, a grant from the V Foundation is one of the first sources of funding for their innovative ideas. We’ve funded over $458 million to 1,423 top researchers at the National Cancer Institute-Designated Cancer Centers and other exceptional cancer centers. This investment has returned 50-fold, as V Foundation researchers have gone on to generate over $22 billion in additional cancer research funding throughout their careers. We fuel the next generation of leading cancer researchers.

V Foundation researchers study all stages of cancer research: prevention, detection, treatment options, palliative care, discovery science and clinical trials. Our goal is to make breakthroughs that have long-lasting ripple effects across cancer types. And we have. V Foundation researchers have, throughout their careers, been connected to 1,094 clinical trials. These trials are transformative in cancer research.
