SCHOLAR RETREAT UPDATE
Forbeck Retreat Scholars, particularly those in their third and final year of their scholarship, expressed gratitude for the Foundation’s support of collaborative meetings. Peter Ly, PhD, of the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center, shared, “The Forbeck meetings and retreats have provided countless networking opportunities to engage with scientists within and outside of my field. These opportunities have brought many of us working in similar areas closer together...” Mentors and members of the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) offered valuable career advice, feedback on presentations, and grant application guidance, fostering mutual learning and strong two-way relationships. Some Scholars have used the Forbeck model to create networks of early-career investigators, expanding beyond their institutions. In summary, the Forbeck Foundation has had a multiplier effect, impacting the research and careers of hundreds of cancer investigators. These interactions continue to ignite innovative research projects, with the hope that these collaborations will enhance our understanding of various tumors and ultimately improve the diagnosis and treatment of cancer patients.
