The Forward Fund provides grants that will help attract the brightest young minds in cancer and/or immunology research to the cancer immunotherapy domain. It informs those outside of the cancer immunotherapy field about the huge promise of this modality, which offers the potential of creating long-term remissions and/or prolongation of survival for people suffering from an expanding array of advanced cancer types. The Fund also educates established clinical oncologists regarding the application and potential benefits of this treatment modality.
The Forward Fund is proud to financially support the Richard V. Smalley, MD Memorial Award, the Presidential Award and the Young Investigator Travel Awards. Information about these awards can be found on the following pages.
