Since 2023, Strongers ETS turns marathons, events and culture into mini-grants for early-career lung cancer researchers. 7 researchers funded · €20,700 granted · 235+ runners across Italy, Europe and the USA.
How the Hybrid Funding Model works
A transparent mechanism: those who do sport fund those who cure. Three simple steps, statutory ETS constraint on fund allocation.
You participate or donate
Marathons, swimming, triathlon, padel, spartan, personal challenges. Or 5×1000, a donation, a corporate sponsorship.
We turn it into grants
Statutory constraint: funds go to research, evaluated by the independent Scientific Committee.
They do research
7 under-40 researchers funded since 2023. €3,000 each for professional growth in lung oncology.
