To convene the many stakeholders necessary to create, foster, accelerate, and scale the impact of a community of innovators dedicated to reducing the burden of cancer for all people.
Our Approach
CancerX will ignite innovation in pursuit of the promise of a life without cancer through an integrated, three-pronged approach:
Pre-Competitive Evidence Generation
A rolling series of multi-stakeholder initiatives will develop evidence, best practices, toolkits, and value models to drive the success of the mission.
Accelerator
This program will provide mentorship, education, and exposure to funding and clinical partnership opportunities to a start-up cohort aligned with the mission.
Demonstration
Projects
These implementation projects will pilot novel, mission-aligned approaches to demonstrate their value and sustainability for scale to drive broad adoption.
Through this approach, we will establish best practices, build capacity, and demonstrate the impact of innovation on the life of every person on a cancer journey.
