Guiding Principles
- Patient-Centered Research: The Foundation’s goal is to translate findings quickly and efficiently “from bench to bedside,” or from laboratory testing through clinical trials to actual point-of-care patient applications.
- Innovation: The key to improving current treatments and discovering new therapies, innovation sustains the Foundation as a world-class research institution.
- Education: We strive to encourage, teach, and instill in the next generation of physicians and scientists the wonder of science and a commitment to make a positive impact on the world.
- Stewardship: The Foundation depends on investments from individuals, private foundations, and corporate partners to sustain our work. We are committed to using those investments wisely, to be judicious in our use of those funds, and to produce a return viewed by the donor as significant.

About the Foundation
“I know other kids spend their summers just watching others work, but I am actually doing cancer research. The responsibility is amazing. I think for someone like me, this is the best job you can get.”
