American Cancer Society Announces New Diversity in Cancer Research Program – Made Permanent By a $5 Million Grant from the Elizabeth and Phill Gross Family

ATLANTA, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ — The American Cancer Society today announced the Diversity in Cancer Research program, a permanent umbrella that will support the American Cancer Society’s effort to foster a more diverse scientific workforce community. This has been made possible through a generous endowment contribution from Elizabeth and Phill Gross and their family.

…

The initial investment will be made to launch Diversity in Cancer Research internships, which will offer biomedical cancer research internships for undergraduate students from racial and ethnic backgrounds that are underrepresented in the scientific community. 

«The American Cancer Society’s goal is to decrease the U.S. cancer death rate by an additional 40% by 2035,» said American Cancer Society Chief Executive Officer Gary Reedy. «To accomplish this ambitious plan, we must tackle the racial health disparities that exist in cancer. This includes addressing the critical need for diversity and inclusion in the scientific workforce by increasing the proportion of researchers and clinicians of color. We are so grateful to Elizabeth and Phill Gross for their generous funding of this game-changing initiative.»

According to data from the National Institute of Health, the number of grant applications from Black and Latino scientists are very low, just 2 percent and 4 percent, respectively. This inevitably translates to fewer people of color entering career stages in cancer research. The Diversity in Cancer Research program will build on the American Cancer Society’s existing research career development grant programs by promoting the training of undergraduate students underrepresented in biomedical cancer research and encouraging the pursuit of careers that will increase diversity in cancer research. A more diverse scientific workforce is critical to invigorating problem-solving, driving innovation, and ultimately better equipping the scientific community to address inequities that exist in cancer prevention, treatment, and care.

«In the fight against cancer, advancements in research provide the best hope for saving millions more lives,» said Elizabeth Gross. «Phill and I believe that creating opportunities for a more diverse community of cancer researchers will not only spur innovation and ingenuity, but it will help eradicate health disparities, build trust across these various communities and advance cancer care for everyone. It is our joy to assist in this important work alongside the American Cancer Society.»

To begin, 40 internships per year for 10 years will be granted under the «American Cancer Society/Gross Family Diversity in Research Internship» name.

In addition, an advisory committee has been formed to focus on the implementation of the internship program and lead the development of new programs under the umbrella. New programs will include additional targeted initiatives for underrepresented students, faculty and clinicians – all aimed at increasing the diversity of the workforce in cancer research and patient care. 

Anticipated concepts that could qualify for funding under the Diversity in Cancer Research Program umbrella include specialized institutional research grants for HBCU’s and other minority-serving institutions; physician scientist clinician grants made available to people whose racial or ethnic backgrounds are underrepresented in the scientific community; and career development assistance after completion of Diversity in Research internships.

About the American Cancer Society
The American Cancer Society is a global grassroots force of 1.5 million volunteers dedicated to saving lives, celebrating lives, and leading the fight for a world without cancer. From breakthrough research, to free lodging near treatment, a 24/7/365 live helpline, free rides to treatment, and convening powerful activists to create awareness and impact, the Society is attacking cancer from every angle.

Adults in households with children were many times more likely to report lack of sufficient food. Per population, Mississippi is the most affected state in the United States. With the exception of the District of Columbia, Mississippi suffers the highest rate of nourishment insecure children…by far.

Said Poindexter, «It’s unbelievable that in the most prosperous nation in the world that we have hungry kids. Nearly 75% of Mississippi children are eligible for free or reduced cost lunches which many can’t obtain as a result of COVID-related school closures. Other than terminal illnesses it’s hard to imagine many things more heartbreaking that kids going to bed hungry. It really is disgraceful. This food insecurity thing is going to be a pet project of our charitable work going forward.»

Cement Industry Builds a Strong Case for Global Tyre-derived Fuel Market, Says Fairfield Market Research

LONDON, Feb. 9, 2021 /PRNewswire/ –Fairfield Market Research’s latest report studies the global tyre-derived fuel market as the world looks at turning waste to energy. The report estimates that one billion scrap tyres are generated and another four billion are added to the stockpile each year. According to the report, the global tyre-derived fuel (TDF) market was worth US$365.1 Mn in 2019 and is expected to reach US$430.3 Mn by 2025. The growing sentiment towards utilizing greener energies is creating the demand for tyre-derived fuel, predict analysts.

Economical and Affordable Characteristics to Fuel Market Growth

Tyre-derived fuel is less expensive than conventional fuel. The sheer size of the tyre waste generated on a daily basis is incentive enough for major players in this market not only to invest in the scalability but also to satiate the increasing usage in the coming years. No prerequisite of exploration makes tyre-derived fuel far more cost-effective option, state the analysts.

@ https://www.fairfieldmarketresearch.com/report/tyre-derived-fuel-tdf-market/

Expanding Applications as Supplemental Fuel Improves Opportunities for Tyre-derived Fuel Market

Energy generated by tyre-derived fuel is the same as oil and about 25% more than what coal can produce. In the coming years, TDF is expected to bridge the gap between shortage of energy and increasing demand across industries. TDF serves as an excellent supplement to conventional fuels, such as wood and coal, as initiatives to turn solid waste into energy to help prevent landfilling and subsequent pollution gain prominence. Industries such as cement, paper and pulp, electric utilities and industrial boilers are using tyre-derived fuel to fulfil their energy needs while keeping carbon emissions in check.

Tyre-derived fuel serves as a suitable answer to reducing carbon emission as ash residues from TDF contain fewer metals. Thus, it supports EPA’s waste management hierarchy of reduce, reuse and recyle. As industries expand global activity and with economies getting back to normalcy, analysts anticipate that the global tyre-derived market will benefit too.

Cement Industry Sets Precedent others as It Leads with High TDF Usage

Fairfield Market Research states that the cement industry is expected to be the key end-user industry during the forecast period. Presently, the cement industry holds 50% of the global TDF market. TDF is being used to supplement primary fuel for firing cement kilns. As growing number of cement manufacturers realise tyre scraps to be as efficient as coal and less polluting, analysts anticipate the scrap tire usage, thereby demand to gain momentum. As spending on infrastructure grows, especially in the developing parts of the world, cement will be used in mammoth quantities, propelling TDF market.

Booming Automotive Industry in Asia Pacific to Boost Regional Market

The report states that Asia Pacific tyre-derived fuel market is likely to dominate as the region routinely witnesses end-of-life tyres in landfills. Instead of burning or allowing stockpiles to grow, countries are looking at an excellent opportunity of turning scrap tyres into a sustainable fuel source. Moreover, tyre stockpiles can also be fire hazards if left unaddressed. Thus, there is an imperative need to look at tyre stockpiles with renewed perspective.

Some of the key players operating in the global tyre-derived fuel market are Tyre Disposal & Recycling, Liberty Tyre Recycling, Ragn-Sells Group, ResourceCo Pty Ltd., Reliable Tyre Disposal, Renelux Cyprus Ltd, L & S Tyre Company, Probio Energy International, Scandinavian Enviro Systems AB, Front Range Tyre Recycle, Inc., and ETR Group, Emanuel Tyre, LLC.
