The 2027 Pershing Square Sohn Cancer Prize supports early-career scientists conducting innovative cancer research. It provides $750,000 to investigators with 2-6 years of lab leadership experience and faculty appointments at U.S. academic institutions, enabling them to pursue bold, high-risk projects that traditional funding often overlooks.
Applicants must hold an MD, PhD, or MD-PhD (or equivalent) and have 2-6 years of experience running their own labs. They must be Assistant or Associate Professors at U.S. academic research institutions.
