Currently Funded Cancer Research
No single nongovernmental, not-for-profit organization in the US has invested more to find the causes and cures of cancer than the American Cancer Society (ACS). In fact, we've helped make possible almost every major cancer research breakthrough since 1946.
This section outlines the current ACS substantial spending on research. For the announcement about the most recently funded research grants, see the press release.
