The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society's (LLS's) academic grants support and encourage basic and translational leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma research.
LLS investigators are outstanding scientists at the forefront of leukemia, lymphoma and myeloma research at centers throughout the world. We award academic grants for studies that range from basic blood cancer research to research that uses the latest tools of genomics.
And we don't stop there. We're also dedicated to funding blood cancer research to help improve the quality of life for patients and their families with our projects studying long-term and late effects.
