Distinguished Researchers grants bolster cancer research in Washington State by providing matching funds to recruit best-in-class talent from around the globe, and support newly recruited researchers to lead advances in cancer research. Top scientists move the research economy forward, creating laboratories and other jobs, raising awareness of cancer research, and bringing additional research funding into the state.

The Distinguished Researchers Program will match, dollar for dollar, commitments by Washington research companies, organizations, universities, and research institutions, up to $500,000 per researcher, to add value to recruitment/start-up packages that bring early-career and established cancer researchers to Washington.

The CARE Fund Board of Directors is pleased to announce three Distinguished Researchers grant awards to the following:

• Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center
  Christina Termini, MM, PhD
• Seattle Children’s Research Institute  
  Jay Sarthy, MD, PhD
• Seattle Children’s Research Institute
