About the Donna Bovina Sanders and Mary Patricia Armstrong Nursing Cancer Research Endowed Fund (483990):

This endowed fund has already made a significant impact by enabling the launch of a pioneering study led by Dr. Yesol Yang, investigating cognitive-emotional challenges in young breast cancer survivors. Conducted in partnership with the Comprehensive Cancer Center, this research has laid the groundwork for future interventions and competitive grant opportunities. The fund also elevates the visibility of nursing-led cancer research at Ohio State. 

 

Your Support Can Help Us: 

  • Expand research into cancer-related fatigue, anxiety, and long-term survivorship care 
  • Fund pilot studies that lead to NIH or foundation grants 
  • Support graduate students pursuing oncology-focused nursing research 
  • Enhance community-based cancer education and prevention initiatives 

Shape 

Every gift advances nursing science in oncology, improves patient outcomes, and fosters innovation in cancer symptom management and survivorship support. 

Join us in making a difference.
