Funding pattern

What this funder pays for, at what size, and how to position adjacent work. Read from their filings, with every number checked against the record.

Where the money goes

Blood cancer research grants to academic medical centers
Multi-year awards at large NCI-designated cancer centers
Pediatric leukemia research at children's hospitals
Therapy Acceleration payments to biotech companies
Smaller single-investigator awards at mid-size universities

Typical grant

Median grant is about $311,000, with the middle half between $125,000 and $864,400. The seven-figure checks go to a stable set of major cancer centers such as Dana-Farber, MD Anderson, Sloan Kettering, Stanford, and Washington University in St. Louis, which appear at similar amounts year after year; the $70,000 to $250,000 range covers single investigators at places like UCLA, Rutgers, Pittsburgh, and Mayo. Giving repeats heavily, with 286 grants spread across only 146 recipients over four years, meaning most institutions get funded more than once.

Their words

Phrases from their own grant descriptions, worth speaking back to them.

“RESEARCH GRANT”
“THERAPY ACCELERATION”

Positioning adjacent work

Route the request through an established grantee institution; nearly all money flows to repeat academic centers.
Ask $125,000 to $375,000 for a single-investigator project; reserve seven-figure asks for center-scale programs.
Frame adjacent work explicitly as blood cancer biology or treatment, not general oncology.
If the work is company-based and near clinical translation, position it against the Therapy Acceleration precedents at $500,000 to $3.2 million.

Worth knowing: Money concentrates in California, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, New York, and Texas, and a dozen or so cancer centers absorb the bulk of the dollars at consistent annual levels, which reads as renewal-driven rather than open competition. The Therapy Acceleration line is a small but real second channel, with a $3.2 million company award in 2023 and two $500,000 company awards in 2024.

Top recipients

Repeat recipients are the strongest signal of whether a funder has an open door or quietly re-funds the same organizations.
