Welcome to the V Foundation for Cancer Research Summit!
The V Foundation’s annual Cancer Research Summit is an in-person professional development and networking meeting for our newest V Scholar and Early Career Investigator award recipients. The 2026 conference will include a science communication workshop, grantee flash talk presentations, mentoring and professional development sessions, and plenty of formal and informal networking time for attendees to discuss research ideas and connect with colleagues. Our goal is to create connections and build a scientific community which fosters future collaboration among our V Grantees! We hope to see you there!
