The Cancer Research Institute is a 501(c)(3) charitable organization that raises funds for cancer immunology research from individuals, corporations, and foundations. We provide direct support to scientists through fellowships, grants, and awards. Our mission is to save more lives by fueling the discovery and development of powerful immunotherapies for all types of cancer. We aim to accomplish this through our support and coordination of research that will yield an understanding of the immune system and its response to cancer, with the ultimate goal of developing immunological methods for the treatment, control, and prevention of the disease.
