Since 2007 the Geoffrey Beene Cancer Research Center has issued an annual Request for Applications within the Memorial Sloan Kettering community with the goal of supporting innovative research projects that may not qualify for other sources of funding. In addition, the Center began offering funding for Shared Resource proposals starting in 2008 in an effort to make available to Memorial Sloan Kettering research labs expensive resources for meritorious projects that can only be justified on a shared-use basis.

  • Geoffrey Beene Grant Awards
    The Geoffrey Beene Cancer Research Center annually funds the top research proposals submitted by Memorial Sloan Kettering faculty members whose research supports the field of human oncology, human cancer pathogenesis, cancer biology, and cancer genetics.
  • Sample Funded Projects
    One of the major activities of the Geoffrey Beene Cancer Research Center is to provide investigators with seed funding for new and innovative projects. Here are some examples of previous and current grant recipients who have made major, cutting-edge advances in cancer research. 
  • Geoffrey Beene Shared Resources Awards
    The Shared Resources Request for Applications funds the purchase of shared resources that will bring novel technologies to the research laboratories of Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center.
