Critical research is being done on a daily basis by tireless blood cancer researchers to find out more about blood cancers and how they work. Most research cannot be completed without necessary funds, and The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society (LLS) has devoted more than $600 million to blood cancer research since the first funding in 1954

LLS allows blood cancer researchers to apply for funding for their research projects through the Career Development Program (CDP). This program supports blood cancer researchers early in their careers to ensure that they have the opportunity to work on innovative life-saving research as well as the ability to learn more about blood cancers and the diseases’ challenges.

In order to qualify, research projects must be relevant to LLS’s mission: cure leukemia, lymphoma, Hodgkin’s disease and myeloma, and improve the quality of life of patients and their families. Examples of relevant research areas are experimental therapeutics, cell growth regulation and DNA damage and repair.

If you are a researcher or know a researcher that could benefit from LLS funding, please visit the Career Development Program page on www.LLS.org for deadlines, detailed guidelines and a link to proposalCENTRAL.
