Research Grants

Sarcoma Research

What type of research does the SFA fund?

The SFA raises funds to support basic research focused on discovering and developing new and effective therapies to treat and eradicate Sarcoma. The SFA announces a call for grant proposals each October and accepts applications until January 31. All projects related to sarcomas are considered. The Medical Advisory Board reviews and approves all SFA grant recipients.

In addition to SFA sponsored grants, the organization has recently partnered with the American Society for Clinical Oncology (ASCO) and the Capon Family to award a $450,000 research grant to a Sarcoma researcher. We also work to expand the number of medical researchers who are interested in the study of sarcoma by funding Young Investigator Awards privately and through ASCO. Due to IRS restrictions, the SFA does not fund clinical trial efforts. However, SFA strongly advocates for increased sarcoma clinical research by government and private sector organizations developing new therapies against cancer.
