Fueling Innovation

Researchers spend hours writing grants to compete for funding. This is precious time that could be spent in the lab. With a Paceline grant, researchers are able to purchase equipment, test theories, and move more discoveries forward. Thanks to the support of our partners, Paceline is able to give 100% of the funds you raise to researchers at the Georgia Cancer Center.

"Cancer research is very competitive. Less than 10 percent of grants submitted get funded. A lot of people will be eventually impacted by cancer during their lifetime or have family members suffer from this disease, so it's a fight that needs everyone's involvement." A quote from Dr. Huidong Shi, pictured in his lab.
