~ Only Public Foundation Solely Dedicated to Funding Research for These Deadly Cancers Has Awarded Nearly $10 Million in Grants to Researchers at Leading Institutions ~

NEW YORK, Feb. 25, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — The DeGregorio Family Foundation, the only public foundation exclusively dedicated to funding research grants for gastric and esophageal cancers, also known as gastroesophageal cancer, proudly celebrates its 20th anniversary this year. Founded in 2006 by Wall Street executive Lynn DeGregorio after the devastating loss of 10 family members to a hereditary form of gastric cancer, the Foundation has become a critical catalyst for innovation in a field historically underfunded and overlooked.

Over the past two decades, the DeGregorio Family Foundation has awarded just under $10 million in 38 competitive research grants to leading scientists at premier institutions including Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center and Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine.

The Foundation fills a vital niche in cancer research by providing “seed funding” for bold, promising ideas that are often too new to qualify for large institutional grants. This early support enables researchers to validate hypotheses and secure follow-on funding from major sources such as the National Institutes of Health (NIH).

“Our model is simple but powerful,” said Lynn DeGregorio, President and Founder. “We fund great science and recently have moved to high-impact projects that are closer to the patient. On average, every dollar we invest generates 11 dollars in subsequent research funding — and 100 percent of all donations go directly to research.”

In Fall 2025, the Foundation awarded its Michael F. Price Memorial Grant to two groundbreaking studies: one at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute, with the potential to advance to a clinical trial upon successful completion, and another at The University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, supporting a clinical trial involving 10 patients with gastroesophageal cancer.

As the Foundation enters its third decade, its mission is more urgent than ever. Advances in gastric and esophageal cancer research can yield insights applicable across cancer types, as many tumors share common biomarkers or genetic mutations.  

All DeGregorio Family Foundation grants are evaluated using the same rigorous peer review process employed by the NIH and are scored by its Scientific Advisory Board comprised of world-renowned experts in oncology and cancer research.

“Twenty years ago, gastric and esophageal cancers received little attention,” concluded DeGregorio. “Today, we are seeing real momentum — and real hope.”

Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates

Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates

The post Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday opted to ease interest rates for the first time in months, leading the way for potentially lower mortgage rates, bond yields and a likely boost to cryptocurrency over the coming weeks. Average long-term mortgage rates dropped to their lowest levels in months ahead of the central bank’s policy shift. Copyright{2018} The Associated Press. All rights reserved. Key Facts The central bank’s policymaking panel voted this week to lower interest rates, which have sat between 4.25% and 4.5% since December, to a new range of 4% and 4.25%. How Will Lower Interest Rates Impact Mortgage Rates? Mortgage rates tend to fall before and during a period of interest rate cuts: The average 30-year fixed-rate mortgage dropped to 6.35% from 6.5% last week, the lowest level since October 2024, mortgage buyer Freddie Mac reported. Borrowing costs on 15-year fixed-rate mortgages also dropped to 5.5% from 5.6% as they neared the year-ago rate of 5.27%. When the Federal Reserve lowered the funds rate to between 0% and 0.25% during the pandemic, 30-year mortgage rates hit record lows between 2.7% and 3% by the end of 2020, according to data published by Freddie Mac. Consumers who refinanced their mortgages in 2020 saved about $5.3 billion annually as rates dropped, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. Similarly, mortgage rates spiked around 7% as interest rates were hiked in 2022 and 2023, though mortgage rates appeared to react within weeks of the Fed opting to cut or raise rates. How Do Treasury Bonds Respond To Lower Interest Rates? Long-term Treasury yields are more directly influenced by interest rates, as lower rates tend to result in lower yields. When the Fed pushed rates to near zero during the pandemic, 10-year Treasury yields fell to an all-time low of 0.5%. As…
