Sidney Kimmel - Stands Up To Cancer

Stand Up To Cancer funding totaling more than $6 million to Johns Hopkins investigators was awarded in May 2009. The grants, established by the Entertainment Industry Foundation are funded with proceeds raised during a simultaneous primetime television broadcast on ABC, CBS and NBC television networks and other fundraising initiatives. Two awards to Johns Hopkins-led teams were chosen by a 20-member panel of scientists, physicians, and patient advocates who reviewed more than 200 applications.
