The Morgan Adams Foundation

The Morgan Adams Foundation funds kids’ cancer research. We raise awareness of, and educate our communities about, the need for pediatric and young adult specific cancer treatments. Working with leading researchers and physicians, we fund new and innovative ideas that will improve cancer treatment effectiveness, overall outcomes, survival rates and quality of life while minimizing the devastating side effects current treatments have on our children.

Our particular interest is to provide seed and bridge grants for viable investigations not yet ripe enough for total funding by larger organizations. Additionally, we are able to partially fund translational studies, experimental therapeutics studies, and/or Phase I and II clinical trials on a case-by-case basis.

We increasingly seek projects that are highly collaborative and/or multi-institutional in nature. Our hope is that we can facilitate, through strategic funding, more rapid clinical trial development to get the best possible treatment options into circulation as expediently as possible.

Through careful consideration and placement of our funding, we encourage and support research intended to improve treatment effectiveness, treatment outcomes, and the quality of life for children battling cancer.
