Description:

Alex?s Lemonade Stand Foundation (ALSF) is committed to addressing the psychosocial and behavioral health outcomes for children diagnosed with cancer and their families. Our Psychosocial Grants fill a direct need for research funding by supporting studies that aim to explain and/or improve psychosocial outcomes of those affected by childhood cancer. These grants are designed to fund researchers who have novel approaches to understanding the psychosocial aspects of pediatric cancer and whose proposals will have clinically significant impact. ALSF will offer two types of Psychosocial Grants supporting research proposals: the Launch Grants for early career researchers and the Family Impact Grants for established investigators.

Launch Grants are designed for early career researchers within (7) years of receiving their terminal degree. Funding will support studies that aim to explain and/or improve psychosocial outcomes of those affected by childhood cancer. Demonstration of outstanding mentorship and a career plan that shows commitment to pediatric cancer investigation are important components of a successful application. Maximum $50,000 per year for 2 years will be awarded to applicants.
