UNC Cancer Study Grant Renewed
By Tina Chang And Jessica Sleep | November 21Officials at UNC's Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center say the recent renewal of a multimillion-dollar grant will allow them to approach breast cancer research in innovative ways. The National Cancer Institute has awarded the Lineberger Center a $12.5 million renewal grant for its Specialized Program of Research Excellence in breast cancer. The grant will provide the center with funds over the next five years, said Shelton Earp, director of the center. Earp said the center applied for the grant in 1992, 1996 and 2000 and was awarded the funds every time it applied.
