Siteman Cancer Center at Barnes-Jewish Hospital and WashU Medicine. Donors support the biannual research grant program with gifts to the Cancer Frontier Fund and other cancer research funds at The Foundation for Barnes-Jewish Hospital. The Cancer Frontier Fund includes gifts from generous donors made throughout the year and through the Foundation’s annual Illumination Gala and Pedal the Cause’s annual bike challenge. Early-stage funding, like that of SIP, often determines the ability, success, and rate at which scientific discoveries can progress from early ideas to patient care and treatment. For every dollar of philanthropic support, SIP grant recipients leverage an additional $14 from national funding to expand and accelerate their research.
