Event Description: 

The Mark Foundation Endeavor Awards support collaborative research projects that bring together investigators with diverse areas of expertise to tackle challenges in the prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of cancer. These grants are awarded to teams of three or more investigators to generate and integrate data from diverse lines of research and transform those insights into advances for cancer patients that could not be achieved by individual efforts. 

Endeavor Awards are $3,000,000 disbursed over a 3-year term.

  • The requested funding should be divided amongst team members in a manner proportional to the actual cost of the work carried out by each investigator for the project.
  • The budget limit includes both direct and indirect costs, with indirect costs not to exceed 10% of the direct costs.
  • The third year of funding will be contingent on sufficient scientific progress as presented at the 18-month project review.
  • The letter of agreement will include IP terms with a revenue sharing component
