The Rally Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research just shattered its own record, awarding $7 million in 2026 to 94 researchers across 48 institutions worldwide, including Johns Hopkins, Dana-Farber, and Baylor College of Medicine. Grants cover all research stages—from postdocs to independent investigators—and include specialized programs like 20/20: Alumni Visionary Grants and “Outside the Box” awards.
