Our Medical Advisory Board and Board of Directors will review and vote on the proposals each Fall. Grantees are notified early December annually, and research grants are given directly to the medical institutions where the research is conducted.
Follow us on social media and/or subscribe to our newsletter for more information about applying for a research grant!
TeamConnor has given almost $6M in research grants for the important and novel research for childhood cancer. Each fall year our Medical Advisory Board reviews the research grant proposals that were submitted by mid-August for the groundbreaking research happening around the US for pediatric cancer. We are able to fund these novel research grants because of the support and generosity of donors to TeamConnor.
