CAC2 actively supports and promotes research and treatment initiatives that support member organizations aiming to improve outcomes for children with cancer. Explore the list of ongoing projects below.
Current Active Projects:
Ethics Think Tank
The Ethics Think Tank team identifies and explores the ethics of research funding within a landscape that includes academics, industry, regulatory, and patients. This group’s first project was presented at an international conference and published, and a workshop – the kickoff to the Patient Advocacy Industry Relationships (PAIR) project – gathering insights from key stakeholders, including non-profits and industry, resulted in a white paper. The team is constantly evolving and continues to explore how industry and non-profit funders of research can most meaningfully and ethically interact.
Foundation Match for Joint Research Funding
Supported by Focused Ultrasound Foundation.
The Foundation Match for Joint Research Funding team has built a searchable web platform for CAC2 member organizations with like-minded missions to connect, collaborate, and fund research and other projects with a goal of preventing duplication of effort and creating a more coordinated funding effort to support pediatric cancer research.
International Cancer Research Partnership Database
In 2015, CAC2 joined the International Cancer Research Partnership (ICRP). A significant benefit of this relationship is access to the ICRP database (ICRPartnership.org) which contains the only public source, worldwide, of current and past cancer research grants from 33+ ICRP Partners and 175+ international funding organizations.
