内布拉斯加州UNMC表彰Gary Peters：获2026年社区服务研究奖，十余年倡议儿童癌症研究
内布拉斯加州道格拉斯县奥马哈市消息：内布拉斯加大学医学中心（UNMC）10月28日宣布，Gary Peters 获该中心2026年「社区服务研究奖」（Community Service to Research Award），表彰他十余年来为儿童癌症研究发声倡议的工作。
Peters 的投入源于其子 Jacob 死于儿童癌症，他以儿子的名义持续推动这一事业。提名信指出，内布拉斯加州是全美仅有的七个以立法拨款专门支持儿科癌症研究的州之一，州政府目前每年为此投入450万美元，大学领导层认为 Peters 是争取并维持这笔拨款的关键推动者。
儿童健康研究所（CHRI）负责人 Anderson-Berry 表示，Peters 七年来只要有能为癌症研究与预防带来改变的场合，总是随叫随到。Peters 将在十月的颁奖典礼上与 UNMC 的新晋研究者奖、杰出科学家奖与科学桂冠奖得主一同受奖，由 Coulter 博士与 Anderson-Berry 共同为他颁奖。

UNMC Names Gary Peters Its 2026 Community Service to Research Award Recipient for Pediatric Cancer Advocacy
OMAHA, Douglas County, Nebraska — The University of Nebraska Medical Center (UNMC) announced on October 28 that Gary Peters is the recipient of its 2026 Community Service to Research Award, honoring more than a decade of advocacy for pediatric cancer research.
Peters' commitment traces back to the loss of his son, Jacob, to pediatric cancer, and he has carried on the fight in Jacob's honor. His nomination letter noted that Nebraska is one of only seven states with legislative funding dedicated specifically to pediatric cancer research, and that the state currently contributes $4.5 million annually — funding university leaders credit Peters as a driving force behind securing and sustaining.
Anderson-Berry of the Child Health Research Institute, who has known the Peters family for seven years, praised his willingness to show up "at a moment's notice" for any audience that could make a difference. Peters will be recognized alongside UNMC's New Investigator, Distinguished Scientist and Scientist Laureate recipients at the October ceremony, with Drs. Coulter and Anderson-Berry presenting his award.
