2025 Michael F. Price Memorial Grant
The DeGregorio Family Foundation in partnership with the Torrey Coast Foundation is pleased to announce an RFA for up to $2 million for existing or new drug development for an early phase clinical or for a late-stage research project ready for IND-enabling studies that may advance our understanding of gastroesophageal cancer and lead us to impacting patient care.
Learn more about our work in this brochure, which centers around a case study of Dr. Anisa Shaker, a physician-scientist from USC’s Keck School of Medicine. We funded her initial research into the connection between gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) and esophageal cancer. This led to follow-on funding of $1.25 million from the NIH, which planted the seeds for an Esophageal Cancer Research Program at USC.
