Parabon and the Cancer Treatment Research Foundation (CTRF) have formed
a unique partnership that provides CTRF researchers free access to large
amounts of computation and helps CTRF in its fundraising endeavors. CTRF-sponsored
researchers can access unprecedented levels of computing power through Parabon's
Frontier platform. Computational power is a necessary, and costly, lab expenditure.
Providing this resource allows researchers to focus their attention on their
research rather than fund raising. At the same time, by downloading the Frontier Compute Engine
and donating their unused computer time, CTRF supporters help raise funds
for the foundation. Parabon compensates CTRF for commercial work done on
supporters' computers.
CTRF is dedicated to sponsoring clinically-based research that has the
potential to offer am immediate positive impact on the lives of cancer
patients.. Through corporate sponsorship, 99 cents of every dollar donated
to CTRF directly funds research, a record unprecedented in a nonprofit
setting. To date, CTRF has sponsored 40 research projects in the United
States and abroad with groundbreaking research in such areas as nutritional
oncology, immunotherapy, gene therapy, angiostatics and novel uses of
traditional treatments.
CTRF
sponsors The Walter Payton Cancer Fund and supports fund raising events
such as the Students Against Cancer initiative, the Media Games, Motorcycle
Rides for Life, and other special events and galas. CTRF has received
generous proceeds from the Combined Federal Campaign.
