Funding Recipients
The Cancer Research Foundation was established to draw attention to the need for cancer research, to provide useful information and resources, and to raise funds for top research facilities across the nation. We consciously support diverse and innovative centers in the expectation that each institute will find a different piece to the puzzle and that, together, will find a cure or cures to the over 200 types of cancer.
Each of our selected research centers have been recognized by their peers for their excellence and is a Comprehensive Cancer Center (conducting programs in all three areas of research: basic research, clinical research, and prevention and control research).
Our recipients for 2009 are the Mayo Clinic Cancer Center, Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, St. Jude Children's Research Hospital (Cancer Research) and UCSF Comprehensive Cancer Center.

Housed within one of the nation's top biomedical research universities, the UCSF Helen Diller Family Comprehensive Cancer Center consolidates the work of researchers and clinicians who are dedicated to three fundamental pursuits: laboratory research into the causes and events of cancer's progression; clinical research to translate new knowledge into viable treatments; and population research that can lead to prevention, early detection, and quality-of-life improvement for those living with cancer.
