It is the research that Gateway funds that validates our mission. Gateway established the Board of Scientific Counselors (BSC), an external body of renowned cancer researchers to evaluate proposed research and monitor funded research. Members act solely on the basis of a desire to advance the best interests of Gateway and public good. Gateway solicits and receives letters of intent (LOI) and grant applications for cancer research throughout the year. Each LOI and application is reviewed by the members of the BSC.
