KOMEN INVESTMENTS IN SCIENCE AND COMMUNITY PROGRAMS

Komen for the Cure Research Grants
Komen for the Cure, the world?s largest breast cancer organization, recently announced $59 million in 2010 research grants to 65 institutions, adding to almost $500 million in research funding over the past 30 years. Awards include three grants totaling $1.2 million made to Michigan scientists from the Barbara Ann Karmanos Cancer Institute and Wayne State University.

"Our research investments in Michigan reflect our tremendous urgency to discover and deliver more effective treatments, and to find better and more accurate ways to screen for breast cancer in the first place," said Ambassador Nancy G. Brinker, founder and CEO of Susan G. Komen for the Cure.

"Komen's infusion of millions of dollars into research projects means that promising research that is designed to treat and ultimately eradicate breast cancer will continue," said Eric Winer, M.D., Komen's chief scientific advisor.
