Swiss Bridge is a tax-exempt charitable foundation based in Switzerland. The purpose of Swiss Bridge is to seek support for Swiss and worldwide cancer research from financially independent individuals and corporations.
The Swiss Bridge AWARD was first given in 2000 with a project contribution of CHF 500,000. International researchers are invited to submit new research ideas. A jury selects the six most promising ideas. The respective researchers then have to hand in detailed project studies, from which two or three projects are chosen for funding. As this form of research support proved to be very popular with researchers, the same amount was set aside every year since.
