Organization Details

The foundation was created in 1946 in memory of Damon Runyon, a New York writer whose tales were transformed into the hit musical Guys & Dolls.

Of the more than 3,200 scientists we have funded since, 11 are Nobel laureates and many lead cancer centers nationwide.

Our goals are to:  
-Recruit the best and brightest early career scientists into cancer research.

-Accelerate the translation of scientific discoveries into new diagnostic tools and treatments.

-Enable risk-taking on bold new ideas.
