Andy Hill Cancer Research Endowment Fund

The fund is built on a public-private partnership model, and incentivizes additional investment by requiring private or other nonstate resources to match public funds. The fund’s objectives as enumerated by the Revised Code of Washington are to: Optimize the use of public funds by giving priority to research utilizing the best science and technology with the greatest potential to improve health outcomes; Increase the value of our public investments by leveraging our state's existing cancer research facilities and talent, as well as clinical and therapeutic resources; Incentivize additional investment by requiring private or other nonstate resources to match public funds; Create jobs and encourage investments that will generate new tax revenues in our state; and Advance the biotech, medical device, and health care information technology industries in Washington. The CARE Board dedicated the launch of this Fund to the memory of Senator Andy Hill, a public champion of cancer research.
