Pershing Square Sohn Cancer Research Alliance Seeks Applicants for its 2018 Pershing Square Sohn Prize for Young Investigators
The Pershing Square Sohn Cancer Research Alliance (PSSCRA) will open for applications for its 2018 Pershing Square Sohn Prize for Young Investigators on October 2nd, 2017. At least six New York City-area-based scientists will each be awarded $200,000/year – for up to three years – to enable them to pursue groundbreaking research at a stage when traditional funding is lacking. We would love your help to ensure that talented, eligible early-career scientists know about this funding opportunity.
Applicants must have between 2 to 8 years of experience running their own laboratories by the start date of the Prize (July 2018), have a PhD, MD or MD-PhD (or equivalent), and have an appointment at an institution in New York City or the surrounding area. The deadline to submit the Letter of Intent is November 6, 2017.

Now entering its fifth year, PSSCRA has awarded the Prize to 25 Primary Investigators. PSSCRA seeks to guide philanthropic funds to feed critical scientific discoveries, attracting like-minded investors to the cause of fighting cancer. In addition to receiving funding, Prize winners are given access to a unique network of leaders in academia, business and venture capital, industry, and philanthropy and are invited to participate in select programs.
