Cancer Research Awards Announced
Eight Georgia Scientists Awarded $50,000
Researchers at Emory University School of Medicine, Georgia Institute of Technology and Mercer University's College of Pharmacy in Atlanta; Memorial University Medical Center University and Mercer University in Savannah; and University of Georgia in Athens divided the $400,000 Cancer Research Awards funded through Georgia's State Income Tax Check-Off program. Reviewers select scientifically sound, yet creative ideas that may advance progress toward detecting, treating or curing cancers of the breast, prostate and ovary. Priority is given to investigators who require seed funding to achieve proof-of-principle leading to national peer-reviewed funding. For details: www.georgiacancer.org/res-cancerawardees0809.php. |
