Innovative/Translational Cancer Research Grant

The Mary Kay Ash Foundation® is a non-profit public foundation, which focuses on funding research for innovative grants for translational research of cancers predominantly affecting women (breast, ovarian, uterine, endometrial or cervical cancer among others). Translational research is broadly defined as research that will provide a scientific link between laboratory research and the clinic. Such research would lead to improvement in diagnosis, prognosis, prevention, or treatment of the cancer.

Grants are by invitation only.
One grant application will be accepted from each accredited cancer research institute or medical school. It is up to each institute to conduct an internal review process to determine their applicant. No exceptions.
