For more than 20 years, NETRF has advanced research for patients and families facing neuroendocrine cancer — helping drive progress once thought out of reach. Today, we are unlocking what’s next.
Through Breakthroughs Today, Cures Tomorrow, we have committed to funding $25 million in leading-edge research by 2030 — and we are already 31% of the way there.
That progress is already at work. We have expanded our research portfolio and launched a new Early Detection Request for Applications — a critical step toward finding this disease earlier, when it is more treatable, and outcomes can be improved.
We are also seeing a surge in scientific momentum, with a 35% increase in research proposals this year — representing nearly $60 million in funding requests from around the world.
The breakthroughs we unlock today will shape tomorrow’s treatments — and we can’t do it without you.
"We funded a number of research projects that have now turned into not only trials, but treatments. I'm personally very proud of that, and I'm proud of everyone that has been associated with NETRF because the work has turned into something of value for patients."
Steve Kaufer, NETRF Board of Directors
"NETRF means a lot of hope — for me, for my family, and for other people impacted by the disease."
Brittany Holzhauer
"NETRF funds the best science. And that's a mission we will never let go of — because our patients are counting on us."
Dr. Chrissie Thirlwell, Co-chair, NETRF Board of Scientific Advisors
"This is an insurance policy. My time and money that I give and that our family gives to NETRF is that insurance policy. I have two young grandchildren. I want to see them through all their life cycle events. This is very personal to me."
Todd Gilman, President, NETRF Board of Directors
"Without the support from NETRF, we wouldn’t have been able to bring groundbreaking treatments like CAR-T therapy to clinical trials for patients with neuroendocrine tumors."
Dr. Jennifer Eads, NETRF Board of Scientific Advisors
"It's been an incredible evolution. NETRF has brought me into their community, which includes patients and researchers, and others who are trying to foster a coordinated effort as a community to solve this dilemma of this disease."
Elaine Nord, NETRF Board of Directors
"If I look at what NETRF means to me, it is the ability to bring basic research together with clinicians to try to bring that bench to bedside, and at the same time also provide bedside support for our patient community."
Josh Mailman, NETRF Board of Directors
