Education

MSK is committed to educating future leaders in cancer research and care, and ensuring that the next generation of scientists and clinicians are as diverse as the people they help. In 2022, philanthropy supported:

  • Fellowships and internships to provide equitable access to training and recruit top talent to the field.
  • Twelve PhD programs that prepare scientists for leadership roles across all areas of cancer research, such as cancer biology and computational oncology.
MSK is a global leader, thanks to the broad and immense support we get from our donor community. Philanthropic contributions truly impact the people MSK takes care of, as well as those we recruit and train. Donors make our scientific discoveries possible, helping people with cancer worldwide.
