“We are pleased to be able to make this investment to endow permanently the AGA-R. Robert and Sally D. Funderburg Research Award in Gastric Cancer in honor of our parents. The decision was based primarily on the successes achieved by past award researchers with the goal of helping future recipients to build on those successes and to continue to make significant progress toward the treatment and a cure for gastric cancer.”
Maria T. Abreu, MD, AGAF
“We have made incredible advances in all areas of gastroenterology and hepatology but we need to be able to help all of our patients. That quest begins with ensuring that our field of gastroenterology represents all of us.”
Michael L. Weinstein, MD, AGAF
“We’re in an unprecedented time in medicine where we have such powerful tools to look for the underlying causes of disease. The AGA Research Foundation provides funding to young researchers pursuing the most promising lines of investigation. This support is critical to enable them to develop new ideas and generate initial data, which will allow them to compete for subsequent additional funding and continue their research.”
