Brief Description
The Pershing Square Sohn Cancer Prize provides early-career scientists in the USA the freedom to take risks and pursue their boldest research at a stage when traditional funding is lacking. While the Prize initially focused on the greater New York City area, since 2026, applicants and winners now represent institutions from across the United States. In the quest for cures, the Prize accelerates the collaboration between academia and industry. Prize winners each receive $250,000 a year for three years, totaling $750,000.
