Hyundai Hope On Wheels, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization supported by Hyundai Motor America and its 830 U.S. dealers, announced the 2023 winners of its annual research and programmatic grants, part of Hyundai Hope on Wheels’ $25 million commitment in 2023 to fund pediatric cancer research grants and survivorship efforts.<\/strong><\/p>\n

During its 25th<\/sup> anniversary, Hyundai<\/a> Hope On Wheels will present a total of 88 grants to institutions across the United States that are focused on improving outcomes and treatments for children diagnosed with cancer, including 18 Hyundai Scholar Hope Grants at\u00a0$400,000\u00a0each, 18 Hyundai<\/a> Young Investigator Grants at\u00a0$250,000\u00a0each, 52 Hyundai Impact Grants at\u00a0$100,000\u00a0each, as well as additional Bridge-to-K research grants and Regional Grants.<\/p>\n

“Over the past 25 years, Hyundai Hope On Wheels has been creating hope for families facing childhood cancer by investing in life-saving research, treatment, and support,” said John Guastaferro, executive director of Hyundai Hope On Wheels. “We have contributed $225 million to our mission to end childhood cancer. We are grateful to the dedicated researchers, doctors, and medical institutions receiving grants as we work together to move closer to a cure.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Hyundai Hope On Wheels was inspired by a group of New England Hyundai<\/a> dealers in 1998 to end childhood cancer. Twenty-five years later, Hyundai Hope On Wheels has become one of the nation’s leading funders of pediatric cancer research, establishing Hyundai<\/a> as a corporate social responsibility leader in the automotive industry. Hyundai Hope On Wheels has supported nearly 1,300 cancer research studies at over 175 medical institutions.<\/p>\n

Three grant categories have been awarded to researchers at eligible Children’s Oncology Group (COG) member institutions. The Hyundai<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n

A Medical Advisory Committee of leading pediatric oncologists nationwide reviewed applications. The Hyundai<\/a> Impact Grant funds programmatic initiatives such as clinical care at children’s hospitals.<\/p>\n

This year also introduces two new grant categories to advance its impact on childhood cancer. The Bridge-to-K grant is designed to support National Institute of Health grant applicants to advance their research, and the new Regional Grants focus on local support, advocacy, and awareness.<\/p>\n

“We have made significant strides in pediatric cancer research during the past 25 years,” said Kevin Reilly, vice chair of Hyundai Hope On Wheels and chairman of the Hyundai Motor America<\/a> National Dealer Advisory Council. “By funding critical research, new medical advancements, and less-invasive treatments, we have seen the long-term survival rate rise to over 85%. We won’t stop until every child is free from cancer.”<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

During September, grants will be presented during official Hyundai Hope On Wheels Handprint Ceremonies. The Handprint Ceremony is the nonprofit’s signature event in which children affected by cancer, doctors and researchers, and Hyundai<\/a> partners dip their hands in paint and place their handprints on a Hyundai vehicle, symbolizing the collective fight against pediatric cancer and hope for a cure.<\/p>\n
