About Georgia Center for Oncology Research and Education
Georgia Center for Oncology Research and Education Inc centers much of its grantmaking on colorectal cancer control and breast cancer access, with its largest recent award going to Horizons Community Solutions in Albany for the Georgia Colorectal Cancer Control Program and access to care, treatment, and services for breast cancer. That mix of disease-specific public health work and service access support runs through the recent grants list. The foundation also backs research-linked care delivery through the NCI Community Oncology Research Program and ctDNA-guided therapy studies in colorectal cancer, showing a split between applied research and patient-facing programs. In 2024, it funded Northeast Georgia Medical Center in Gainesville, Hospital Authority of Valdosta and Lowndes County, and Columbus Regional Research Institute for colorectal cancer research and treatment-related work. Earlier awards show the same themes in 2023, including support for Augusta University Research Institute and Horizons Community Solutions under CDC screening initiatives. The pattern suggests a Georgia-focused funder working across screening, treatment access, research, and oncology education.
What Georgia Center for Oncology Research and Education Funds
Colorectal cancer is a central theme. In 2024, Georgia Center for Oncology Research and Education Inc gave $276,347 to Augusta University Research for the Georgia Colorectal Cancer Control Program CDC initiative, and $128,083 to Hospital Authority of Valdosta and Lowndes County for the NCI Community Oncology Research Program plus a study of ctDNA-guided therapy in colorectal cancer. Breast cancer access is another clear priority. The foundation awarded $30,000 each to East Georgia Cancer Coalition Inc, YWCA of Greater Atlanta, TurningPoint Breast Cancer Rehabilitation, and West Central Georgia Cancer Coalition for Access to Care, Treatment, Services grants. Community oncology and symptom-management research also appear in the portfolio, including support for Northeast Georgia Medical Center and Atrium Health Navicent for cancer control symptom management, treatment trials, and health-related quality of life trials.
How Georgia Center for Oncology Research and Education Gives
Grant sizes cluster around mid-sized awards, with a typical range of $19,800 at the 25th percentile, a $30,000 median, and $86,691 at the 75th percentile. The recent list includes both larger program grants and repeated $20,000 to $30,000 awards for access-to-care and community oncology work. Several recipients appear in more than one year, including Horizons Community Solutions, Augusta University Research, Northeast Georgia Medical Center, East Georgia Healthcare Center, Albany Area Primary Health Care Inc, Atrium Health Navicent, East Georgia Cancer Coalition Inc, West Central Georgia Cancer Coalition, The Center for Black Women's Wellness Inc, Columbus Regional Research Institute, Central Georgia Cancer Care PC, and others. That repeat pattern points to ongoing program relationships rather than one-time awards. The organization does not fund individuals or make program-related investments.
