According to the World Health Organization (WHO), cancer is the second leading cause of death globally. The disease is responsible for an estimated 9.6 million deaths in 2018. Globally, about 1 in 6 deaths is due to cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Maine, an initiative called <a href=\"https:\/\/www.jax.org\/clinical-genomics\/maine-cancer-genomics-initiative\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">The Maine Cancer Genomics Initiative<\/a> has been awarded an $11.8 million grant to make personalized medicine available to Maine cancer patients. This grant was given by the Harold Alfond Foundation, whose goal is to award grants that pay important long-term dividends for the health and well-being of those living in the state of Maine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jackson Lab\u2019s President and CEO, Dr. Edison Liu, spoke on the importance of this grant award: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>So, what we\u2019ve done, I\u2019m talking about all the colleagues that work on the Maine Cancer Genomics Initiative, is to put Maine on the map as a place of innovation for how we deliver complex technologies on behalf of our cancer patients in a distributed and mostly rural state.<\/p><p>The Maine Cancer Genomics Initiative (MCGI) is an alliance of Maine oncology providers, led by The Jackson Laboratory (JAX), aimed at making precision medicine, innovative clinical trials, access to targeted therapies, and novel technology available for cancer patients throughout Maine.<\/p><p>MCGI brings innovative cancer genomic testing, education, and drug access infrastructure to Maine, with nearly every oncology practice in the state as a partner. Initially driven by the need for greater availability of cancer genomic testing for Maine&#8217;s cancer patients, MCGI has become a model for community precision oncology, or personalized cancer care, in a rural setting<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Jackson Lab&#8217;s Grant Goals For Maine Cancer Healthcare: <\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Dr. Liu, Jackson Lab is intending to use these grant funds to improve upon the existing infrastructure of Jackson Lab, which will allow them to better serve patients that they help, by being able to ensure more Mainers have access to services and treatment they need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large is-resized\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pexels-photo-5482977.jpeg\" alt=\"pexels-photo-5482977.jpeg\" class=\"wp-image-7010\" width=\"910\" height=\"650\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pexels-photo-5482977.jpeg 1820w, https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pexels-photo-5482977-300x214.jpeg 300w, https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pexels-photo-5482977-800x571.jpeg 800w, https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pexels-photo-5482977-768x549.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grantnews\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/10\/pexels-photo-5482977-1536x1097.jpeg 1536w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 910px) 100vw, 910px\" \/><figcaption>Photo by Anna Tarazevich on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/2-women-in-black-tank-top-holding-pink-ribbon-5482977\/\" rel=\"nofollow\">Pexels.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Dr. Liu also spoke on how much this grant award would help the community in Maine: <\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\"><p>It allows the network of oncologists and surgeons with our education program, our training program, to enhance their understanding of how to use the Complex diagnostics, and together we\u2019re gonna work through how best to use that to select the optimum therapy for our patients.&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Featured cancer research grants<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.grantwatch.com\/grant\/172204\/award-to-a-usa-canada-or-international-scientist-for-a-significant-breakthrough-in-cancer-research.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Award of $30,000<\/a> to a USA, Canada, or International individual to recognize an original breakthrough or discovery in the field of cancer research.
