Founded in 1953 by Helen Coley Nauts and Oliver R. Grace, to aide in the development of immunologically-based treatments for cancer by providing grants and funding for research to specialists and researchers. The organization offers research grants to students, postdoctoral fellows, and investigators at medical research institutions throughout the world. It also funds clinical trials testing promising immunotherapies in a variety of cancer types and convenes scientific conferences for tumor immunologists. CRI contributes a large majority of all donations to clinical trials and cancer research.
