Children's Hospital of Richmond is a Hyundai Impact $100,000 Grant Winner
Hyundai Hope on Wheels offers three grant categories awards to researchers at eligible Children's Oncology Group (COG) member institutions. Richmond's own Children's Hospital was a Hyundai Impact Grant Winner! The Hyundai Scholar Hope Grant is a 2-year award competitively selected for translational research, and the Hyundai Young Investigator Grant is a 2-year award competitively selected for innovative research. Applications were reviewed by a Medical Advisory Committee comprised of leading pediatric oncologists from institutions across the country.
