CARE Fund is soliciting proposals for a consultant to plan, research, develop, and produce a report on Community Based Organizations (CBOs) related to potential funding to promote diversity in clinical trials in Washington State.

CARE Fund grants are designed to promote cancer research and advance transformational research across the cancer research continuum. CARE Fund is proud to highlight Deverra Therapeutics, which received two Life Science Start-Up and Development awards in May 2023. These awards supported the development of CAR-NK cells to treat b-cell leukemia regardless of CD19 expression and the development of engineered allogeneic MPS cell product for treatment of solid tumors. Dr. Colleen Delaney, Principal Investigator, shared that, “As a recipient of a Life Science Start-Up and Development award, we are deeply grateful for this funding – it arrived at a critical moment and provided essential support to keep our research program on track during a pivotal time. It enabled us to maintain steady progress and continue our scientific goals without interruption.” Learn more about this and other past awarded grants here.
