“The funding from the Prevent Cancer Foundation has been instrumental in fostering my professional development. I have been able to expand my research endeavors to develop an enhanced pancreatic cancer risk prediction model, leveraging data from a vast network comprising multiple institutions.”
2021 Grantee
Artit Jirapatnakul, Ph.D.
“I was awarded an R21 grant from NIOSH-CDC in 2021, a 2-year grant for approximately $500k in total costs. I attribute my success in obtaining the R21 grant to the Foundation, both from the research that the Foundation enabled as well as the Foundation’s grant application process and feedback from the Foundation’s reviewers.”
