In a year unlike any other, the V Foundation is proud to announce $10.3 million in grant funding for 2020. Total grant funding surpasses $260 million.
 
“This year’s collection of V Foundation grants tackles the most vexing #cancer problems confronting both adults and children, using technologies that push the state-of-the-art in order to change the game for these life-threatening diseases," said William Nelson, M.D., Ph.D., chair of the V Foundation’s Scientific Advisory Committee. “In addition, support is directed at innovations in cancer ‘Thrivership’ and at promoting equity in cancer treatment. Even in the midst of a coronavirus pandemic, a new generation of V Scholars, the best and brightest of young cancer researchers, are prepared to ‘never give up’ in pursuit of new ways to improve cancer outcomes.”
 
“The support provided by the V Foundation will be instrumental in advancing our efforts to test a promising new strategy to treat brain tumors. Unfortunately, there are few effective therapies available to brain tumor patients and my laboratory is dedicated to developing novel treatments for this disease. I am grateful for the opportunity to partner with the V Foundation to pursue our shared goal of achieving victory over cancer,” said Sam McBrayer, Ph.D., assistant professor at Children’s Medical Center Research Institute at UT Southwestern.
 
Thanks to all who support and advance #cancerresearch!
