​​The American Cancer Society, the largest non-government, nonprofit funding source of cancer research in the United States, has announced funding for $98 million in new Extramural Discovery Science (EDS) research grants. The awards will fund investigators at 106 institutions across the United States starting this month. 
 
This slate of new grants includes the previously announced recipients of the Yosemite-ACS Awards, the new Catalyst Awards, and all of the research grants awarded through our standard grant mechanisms including Postdoctoral Fellowships, Research Scholar Grants, Discovery Boost Grants, and more. A full list of all the new awards included in this grant slate can be found on cancer.org.  
 
Altogether, ACS invested more than $132 million in new cancer research in 2024. With an investment of more than five billion dollars since 1946, ACS has a legacy of supporting lifesaving cancer research, including supporting the work of 53 researchers who have gone on to win the Nobel Prize for their work.
