Use of Funds
Clinical cancer research requires an enormous amount
of time, money and hard work. Although additional tests,
procedures and medications required by the clinical trial
protocol account for some of the costs associated with
clinical research, the majority of the expense actually
comes from the paying dedicated and skilled staff required
to conduct a clinical trial. This includes both the staff
required to meet increasingly stringent regulatory
requirements as well as the staff needed to ensure that the
tremendous amount of data being tracked is accurately
collected and submitted. Funds also assist with the costs
associated with a Pediatric Oncology Data Research Manager.
Kidz for a Cure helps to make a difference in the lives of
many local children participating in pediatric clinical
research trials. Research is our strongest weapon in the
fight against cancer since we can identify new targets and
strategies to attack and one day prevent cancer. Successful
clinical trials are a crucial step to making new therapies
widely available by bringing them to market.
