	RESEARCH PROGRAMCHILDREN'S CANCER RESEARCH FUND PROVIDES FUNDING TO ACCELERATE PEDIATRIC CANCER RESEARCH THAT LEADS TO NEW STANDARDS OF CARE AND BETTER OUTCOMES FOR CHILDREN DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER. JUST AS PAST RESEARCH SUPPORT IS CURING CHILDREN TODAY, THE INVESTMENTS MADE NOW ARE HELPING PEDIATRIC CANCER FAMILIES OF THE FUTURE AND PHYSICIANS AND RESEARCHERS WHO WILL MAKE THE NEXT IMPORTANT DISCOVERY.RESEARCHERS WHO HAVE RECEIVED FUNDING SUPPORT FOR THEIR PROJECTS IN THE PAST YEAR ARE MAKING GREAT STRIDES. A COLLABORATION ACROSS FOUR DIFFERENT TEAMS HAS RESULTED IN IDENTIFICATION OF INHERITED GENE VARIATIONS THAT INCREASE THE RISK OF OSTEOSARCOMA AND IN PARTICULAR, INCREASE THE RISK OF THE CANCER SPREADING TO OTHER PARTS OF THE BODY. THE GROUP HAS ALSO FOUND POSSIBLE CAUSES FOR THE AGGRESSIVENESS OF OSTEOSARCOMA. RESEARCHERS ARE ALSO COMBINING GENETIC ANALYSIS OF BRAIN TUMORS WITH VACCINE-BASED APPROACHES TO CREATE PATIENT-SPECIFIC CANCER VACCINES. ONE RESULT OF THIS WORK IS THAT RESEARCHERS HAVE DISCOVERED THE CAUSE OF IMMUNE-SUPPRESSING TUMOR MICROENVIRONMENTS, WHICH REDUCE THE EFFECTIVENESS OF BRAIN TUMOR VACCINE THERAPIES THAT HAVE BEEN DEVELOPED FOR PATIENTS. OTHER RESEARCH FOCUSES INCLUDE FINDING NEW DRUG THERAPIES FOR GRAFT-VERSUS-HOST DISEASE FOLLOWING TRANSPLANT, IDENTIFYING GENETIC RISK FOR HODGKIN'S LYMPHOMA AND DEVELOPING LESS TOXIC TREATMENTS FOR A VARIETY OF CANCERS AND RELATED DISEASES, INCLUDING LEUKEMIA AND FANCONI ANEMIA. IN ADDITION TO SPECIFIC RESEARCH PROJECTS, CCRF ALSO FUNDS SIX ENDOWED CHAIRS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA, PROVIDING RESEARCHERS WITH A CONSISTENT STREAM OF FINANCIAL SUPPORT TO KEEP RESEARCH MOVING FORWARD. THIS YEAR, A NEW PROGRAM WAS INITIATED TO PROVIDE DEDICATED RESEARCH PROJECT FUNDING TO YOUNGER SCIENTISTS. THE GOAL OF THIS EFFORT IS TO PROVIDE THE SEED MONEY TO SUPPORT EARLY STAGE RESEARCH THAT PAVES THE WAY FOR LARGER, FEDERALLY FUNDED GRANTS. THIS ADDRESSES THE CURRENT TREND THAT IS MAKING IT DIFFICULT FOR YOUNGER RESEARCHERS TO RECEIVE THE FEDERAL GRANTS NECESSARY TO ADVANCE THEIR WORK.
