Although supporting seed grants remains an important part of JCCF's mission, the Foundation today also supports numerous high-priority, multi-disciplinary cancer research efforts. Its focus is on rapidly translating discoveries made in the laboratory into improved screening, treatment and prevention.

The Jonsson Cancer Center Foundation at UCLA (JCCF) was founded in 1945 by a group of volunteers dedicated to cancer research at UCLA. They began JCCF's legacy by investing in the work of promising young cancer researchers through seed grants. For more than two decades, the Seed Grant Program has helped JCCC break new ground in the quest to defeat cancer. The program uses funds raised from private sources to launch innovative start-up projects. During the last eight years, $1.7 million in philanthropic funding for interdisciplinary seed grants generated $26.7 million in external peer-reviewed funding of program grants.
