Fast grants for oncology would be a fund that decides within two days on small grants for quick, decisive experiments in cancers or questions that mainstream funders neglect, modelled on the pandemic-era Fast Grants.
Fast Grants during COVID-19 funded hundreds of projects with 48-hour decisions and a one-page application; several delivered results, and recipients reported that speed, not just money, changed what they attempted. A cancer version would target neglected cancers and unfashionable questions (cachexia, metastasis models, surgical technique, repurposed drugs) with awards of $10,000 to $500,000, pre-registration of the key experiment, and a public results record including failures.
