LTIMATE RETURN ON INVESTMENT
We also know that the relationships that are developed as a result of attending the meetings are long lasting, a point that can only really be brought out by talking with the doctors involved.
“My science has evolved considerably as a result of attending the Forbeck meetings. The concept that I presented at my first Forbeck meeting has finally come to fruition and I have presented my research at this meeting. Some of the suggestions I received at the meetings helped push the project forward and prevented me from falling into ‘traps’. The discussions have been instrumental in the success of my project”. Dr. Floris Barthel, Assistant Professor at the Translational Genome Research Center. Also affiliated with City of Hope, and the University of Arizona. We also know that the relationships that are developed as a result of attending the meetings are long lasting, a point that can only really be brought out by talking with the doctors involved. Edward and Deep also investigated if there has been an increase in collaborative grant applications by Forbeck Forum attendees. They reviewed the number of NIH cancer research grants in recent years and looked at collaborations between Forbeck participants. They found that the number of collaborative research grants has increased over time, at an even greater rate than the collaborative publications. Those involved with the Foundation know we make a difference, perhaps the biggest one if you think that research cannot start without the development of ideas. It is much less expensive to fund what we do as compared to the other aspects of developments needed to find the elusive cures to all different types of cancer. Forty years ago, we developed a unique approach to the very broad field of curing cancer. This approach has been validated by the requests we get from top scientists and doctors to either run or attend a Foundation meeting. But don’t take our word for it. Come to one of our dinners and meet our scientists and, if can help, make a donation.
