 The Japanese Foundation for Multidisciplinary Research on Cancer has been developing cancer treatment for more than 1980 years since its establishment in 40, conducting clinical trials of many cancers and laying the foundation for standard treatment as an institution that conducts neutral cancer research. Has contributed to.As part of this project, we have solicited research with originality and potential, and have provided support to more than 500 young researchers as a general research grant.However, while the economic situation is uncertain due to the recent coronavirus infection, donations from companies are on the decline, and we are facing a shortage of funds for subsidies.
