€3,000 funds one year of research. Donations start at €5.
Every euro donated to Strongers goes directly into mini-grants for under-40 young oncologists studying lung cancer. Statutory ETS constraint: funds do not finance the association's operating costs but go to the researcher, not the laboratory.
We don't ask for trust. We prove it.
Your donation funds projects selected by an external, independent Scientific Committee on public criteria: donors don't choose the winners.
Where your donation goes
The 5×1000 costs you nothing: it's a portion of IRPEF already allocated by the State that you can assign to us. Direct donations (card, PayPal, bank transfer) directly fund the annual call. Every €3,000 raised = one mini-grant to a young oncologist. Statutory ETS constraint: funds do not finance operating costs.
€3,000 to the researcher — not to the laboratory. For conferences (ATS/ERS/ASCO), open-access publications, professional growth.
Those who participate in Strongers events co-fund the call. Those who donate online do the same, without running.
- €5 one week of access to an open-access scientific journal
- €20 contribution toward a researcher's registration to an international conference
- €100 approximately one-third of an indexed publication (Article Processing Charge)
- €3.000 an entire mini-grant — funds one year of professional development for a young oncologist
€3,000 = one year of research for a young oncologist · 100% to research, 0% overhead
