Four teams awarded inaugural translational cancer research grants

ncer Research offer awards to top doctors and scientists at National Cancer Institute (NCI)-designated cancer centers, prominent universities and freestanding research institutions. Proposals that hold outstanding promise for translating basic cancer findings into a new preventive strategy or therapeutic application for cancer, including improved survival and/or quality of life, were selected for the grants.

The recipient grants of $300,000 over three years are matched by the institutions from all available sources, creating a total project commitment of $600,000 for each award.

A project team must have a minimum of two scientists from the same facility and the team must possess basic and clinical research expertise. Winners are selected by a competitive process managed by a combined V Foundation-AACR Scientific Review Committee.

The Cardinal Health Foundation of Dublin, Ohio, and Abbott of Abbott Park, Ill. are helping to fund the new collaboration between AACR and The V Foundation. The Cardinal Health Foundation, which is supported by the resources of Cardinal Health, a major provider of products, services and technologies to the health care industry, has made the lead donation of $150,000. Abbott, a longtime sponsor of AACR's meetings and scientific conference, will also join this partnership for translational research.

Commenting on this new funding partnership, Debra Dendahl Hadley, Executive Director of the Cardinal Health Foundation, said, "We are very pleased to support AACR in this important investment to further research for the prevention and treatment of cancer."
