Kimmel Scholars

In many respects, the Kimmel Scholars Program is the fulfillment of the Sidney Kimmel Foundation’s commitment to cancer research.  The Program bridges the funding gap for gifted young cancer researchers at the very outset of their careers.  With the pressure to secure resources eased, Scholars are emboldened to pursue innovative, imaginative investigations and to establish their models in independent research, a necessity for obtaining government grants and other backing.
