Research Funding
The Children’s Oncology Group is primarily funded by the National Cancer Institute and also receives additional funding from other granting agencies and from philanthropic sources (cog-foundation.org). Two major NCI grants provide core funding: the primary or Chair’s grant supports research operations and funds personnel at member institutions conducting research, and the statistics and data center grant supports these essential research functions. Other key grants include the COG Phase 1 Consortium grant, supporting 21 COG institutions charged with early phase clinical trials, and the Community Cancer Oncology Program (CCOP) grant.

“Our science has become terrible, our research dangerous, our findings deadly. We physicists have to make peace with reality. Reality is not as strong as we are. We will ruin reality.”
