As Foundation Match made its debut, this webinar gave an opportunity to learn more about the platform. In addition, a moderated discussion explored a few of the different motives and approaches that CAC2 member organizations that co-fund research adopted and learned from an investigator about how funding collaboration has the potential to improve the research landscape. Panelists shared why they are excited to join the Foundation Match platform. Panel members included:
- Donna Ludwinski (Solving Kids’ Cancer)
- Elias Sayour, MD, PhD (Associate Professor of Neurosurgery and Pediatrics, Principal Investigator, RNA Engineering Laboratory, Preston A. Wells, Jr. Center for Brain Tumor Therapy and UF Brain Tumor Immunotherapy Program Co-Leader, UFHCC Cancer Therapeutics & Host Response, University of Florida)
- Julie Guillot (Leukemia & Lymphoma Society Volunteer)
- Lisa Ward (Tough2gether Against DIPG/DMG)
