They meet to review and evaluate each grant request using the same stringent criteria as the National Cancer Institute, allowing them to fund the best and most promising research that will help children as soon as possible.
Support of The Pediatric Early Phase-Clinical Trial Network
Cookies for Kids’ Cancer is the largest philanthropic supporter of PEP-CTN which, simply put, makes Phase I treatments available for more kids. They match dollar for dollar the funding the National Cancer Institute (NCI) provides for EVERY CHILD enrolled at the 42 participating core and non-core centers which are located across the country. For seven years of our funding, CFKC actually doubled the amount the NCI funds.
