The Foundation is pleased to announce that Nolan MIller, the noted designer, has given a grant to the Foundation to support research for lung cancer.
The winner of the Nolan Miller lung cancer research grant in 2007 was Dr. Elisabeth Martinez of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center at Dallas, Texas. The winner of the grant for Carcinoid Cancer research was Dr. Herbert Chen of the University of Wisconsin.
There will be a $50,000 grant in 2008 for the best genetic or epigenetic program for the management of cancer. There is particular interest in striking at Cancer at its weakness, so ably discussed by Dr. Lawrence Brody in the New England Journal Sept 1, 2005. There is also strong interest in cancer stem cells. We are not wedded to these concepts, however, and any useful project will get equal consideration. There will also be another $50,000 Nolan Miller grant specific for lung cancer research. Research grant applications should be organized as follows:
Research Hypothesis
Background and rationale
Study objectives
Study design
Study population (if applicable)
Criteria for evaluation
Definition of response
Analyses
Please make it as concise as possible, with a maximum of 10 pages. The reviewers are physicians in practice and the application should be understandable by practicing physicians. The Jan 31, 2008 deadline has passed and there are many excellent applications. The winners will be chosen on or before April 15. The award will be presented at the annual fund raiser in May 2008.
