Professional development
Cure Cancer offers more to our researchers than just the support of their grant. Here are the different ways Cure Cancer provides further support to research:
Mentoring Program
Launched in 2017, our Cure Cancer Mentoring Program gives new grant recipients the opportunity to be mentored by our alumni.
Annual Symposium
Attended by grantees past and present, the Cure Cancer Research Symposium provides current grant recipients with an opportunity to meet their peers, establish networks and present their work as an invited speaker.
