The 299 women-led research projects selected for funding are addressing a multitude of cancers including: Brain Tumor, Breast Cancer, Cervical Cancer, Head and Neck Cancer, Leukemia, Liver Cancer, Lung Cancer, Lymphoma, Ovarian Cancer, Prostate Cancer, Skin Cancer, Thyroid Cancer.

Women make invaluable contributions to cancer research, yet they are underrepresented in research leadership. As the leading non-profit funder of cancer research in the US, ACS can help sustain women-led cancer research, launch new careers, and inspire a new generation of young women considering careers in science. The ResearcHERS program ensures that women continue to be powerful and growing forces to help save lives from all types of cancer.

While the ACS has funded 49 researchers who have received the Nobel Prize, none of them have been a woman…yet. With support from programs like ResearcHERS, the ACS is conducting and funding ground-breaking cancer research to help extend, better, and save lives.
