Kettering Prize
The Charles F. Kettering Prize was a US$250,000 award given by the
General Motors Cancer Research Foundation for the most outstanding recent contribution to the diagnosis or treatment of cancer.[1][2]
History
The award was named in honor of
General Motors Director, and pioneer of the General Motors Research Laboratories. It was awarded annually from 1979 to 2005. [citation needed
]
In 2006, due to budget constraints the Alfred P. Sloan Jr. Prize, the Charles F. Kettering prize and the Charles S. Mott Prize, originally each worth $250,000, were consolidated into a single General Motors Cancer Research Award with a combined value of $250,000. The first and only winner of the General Motors Cancer Research Award was Napoleone Ferrara.[3] Since 2006 no more prizes have been awarded.[citation needed]
