TEN YEARS OF ADVANCING SCIENCE IN OREGON

ARCS FOUNDATION PORTLAND CHAPTER ANNUAL REPORT 2013-14 ARCS FOUNDATION advances science and technology in the United States by providing financial awards to academically “Learn from yesterday, outstanding U.S. citizens studying live for today, hope for tomorrow.

The important thing is to complete degrees in science, not to stop questioning.” engineering and medical research. — Albert Einstein

ARCS FOUNDATION is a private organization conceived and run entirely by philanthropic women to address this country’s most critical competitiveness issue – the serious shortage of American scientists and engineers. Since our founding in 1958 by a few women in Los Angeles, ARCS Foundation has grown to 17 chapters nationally and invested more than $87 million in the innovation potential of almost 9,000 of the most outstanding American scholars in science, engineering and medical research at 54 of the country’s top research universities.

The Portland Chapter, founded in 2004, has raised over $2.5 million to sponsor 150 graduate students working to complete PhDs at

Joe Voboril in science, medical research and engineering at OHSU and Oregon State University. I know the future is bright Ed Ray, Aletha Anderson and Joe Robertson because of the forward-thinking Portland ARCS members, our scholars and our strong relationships with our university partners and our donors.”

Joe Robertson, President of Oregon Health and Science University “OHSU is committed to recruiting outstanding young people in scientific research, but our efforts are dependent on visionary partners like ARCS Foundation who understand the important role of graduate students in the advancement of medical science. ARCS funds will help keep students on track in their chosen fields and thereby bolster innovation and the creation of new knowledge at OHSU.”

Ed Ray, President of Oregon State University “ARCS Foundation’s support of 52 Oregon State University graduate students has significantly advanced the research and professional development of extraordinary doctoral students. This year’s expansion of the program to include science and agricultural science students broadens the impact of the awards program in recognition of the importance of advanced scientific research and the role it plays in the physical, environmental and economic health of Oregonians and citizens throughout the nation and the world.”

Kevin Watanabe-Smith, a doctoral candidate in OHSU’s Cancer Biology program, currently works in Dr. Brian Druker’s lab at the Knight Cancer Institute. Kevin’s award, The Allan Price Memorial ARCS Scholar Award, was funded by ARCS Foundation members and friends in memory of former OHSU Foundation President Allan Price. Kevin’s research focuses on DNA mutations found in individual patients’ leukemia. He recreates the DNA in Petri dishes in the lab so he can identify their specific mutation signal pathways. Then he tests clinically approved drugs in the lab to identify the best treatment options for that particular patient. Testing Jean Josephson Allison Fryer, Associate Dean for Graduate Studies, OHSU and 3rd Year ARCS different drugs in the lab instead of in the patient Scholar Kevin Watanabe-Smith prevents unnecessary discomfort or side effects before the best option is identified. “The available resources promote innovation.

ARCS scholars make tremendous contributions as they pursue their doctoral degrees under their adviser’s guidance. They also form lasting relationships with their award donors.

USING VACCINES TO FIGHT CANCER TUMORS

Tyler Hulett is continuing to work towards his PhD from OHSU in molecular and cellular biosciences. His scholar award was donated by the James R. Kuse Family Foundation. Tyler is developing ways to teach the body’s own immune system how to fight tumors. The immune system identifies cancer cells by broken proteins shown on their surface. His work involves isolating and identifying Jamie Anderson those proteins, testing vaccines made from them, and finding out how they ARCS Alum Tyler Hulett and donor Carol Ehlen compare to the rest of a cancer cell’s proteins. By better understanding how the immune system sees cancer, Tyler’s team hopes to design “Financial stress is supposed to be synonymous with improved cancer vaccines. being a student scientist – but thanks to the ARCS award

8 “I am an ARCS Scholar from the first group of students to receive awards in Portland in 2005. I had never heard of ARCS Foundation, but I have come to have an extraordinary appreciation and respect for this incredible organization. The Behavioral Neuroscience Department at Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) was using ARCS Scholar Awards as a recruitment tool for new students, so I was very flattered to get the offer. I started in the Behavioral Neuroscience program in September 2005 and received my PhD in July 2010. Currently, I work as a business development associate in the Technology Transfer & Business Development Department at OHSU. We facilitate commercialization of OHSU technologies. I feel fortunate to have found a job where my scientific expertise is useful and appreciated. The ARCS Scholar Award affected my graduate school experience in so many important ways. In most fields of study, the average stipend for graduate students is Jean Josephson Donors Leslie & Mark Workman reunite with ARCS Alum Trish Pruis, PhD quite low. Stipends are typically enough to squeak by each month, as long as there are no financial emergencies or unexpected expenses. This is where the ARCS award had “It is our privilege and our pleasure to support the brilliant ARCS scholars whose the most impact on my life as a grad student. I experienced all of these things at one research is on the cutting edge of science. Their work expresses our hope and time or another – emergency dental work, unexpected trips home to the Midwest due to deaths in the family, plane tickets home to see my mom at Christmas, etc. Then, there investment in the future.” were more basic things like renter’s insurance, and the mental comfort of being able — Leslie and Mark Workman have funded ten ARCS scholars to live on my own without roommates during a busy and stressful time in my life. I also used my ARCS award to cover registration fees, travel, and lodging for a weeklong training course related to the brain imaging techniques I used in my graduate research. The ARCS award also affected me on a personal level. It was the first time I had a direct interaction with a philanthropic organization. I was amazed that there were people in the local Portland community (and all over the country) who value science and scientific training enough to build an organization to fund scholar research. Our chapter is local. Everyone lives in the Pacific Northwest, with the shared goal to advance science in Oregon. That’s pretty powerful in terms of dedication to a community. I have enjoyed getting to know my ARCS donors, Leslie and Mark Workman. Having a lasting relationship with my donors is part of what made the experience so wonderful.” — Trish Pruis, ARCS Scholar alum 9 ADVANCING SCIENCE IN OREGON: OREGON STATE UNIVERSITY ARCS Foundation Portland Chapter began our partnership with Oregon State in 2008 and has funded 52 students.

11 ADVANCING SCIENCE IN OREGON: INVESTING IN THE FUTURE

ARCS Foundation Portland relies on the generosity of members, community institutions, and friends to fund scholar awards. Endowments of $200,000 fund scholar awards in perpetuity. Caron and Larry Ogg were the first to endow a scholar award with ARCS Foundation Portland. They set an example that has since been matched by Barbara and Philip Silver with the Silver Endowed Award, and Susan and George Swindells with the Fairway Fund. The Chapter funded an additional award in celebration of our 10th Anniversary. Jamie Anderson Donor Caron Ogg, ARCS Alum and PhD Candidate (OSU) Jesse Hostetler, 3rd Year ARCS Scholar and PhD Candidate The Oggs have supported three other ARCS (OSU) Elizabeth King, ARCS Alum and MD-PhD Candidate (OHSU) Garth Tormoen, and donor Larry Ogg.

It’s nice because I essentially have two mentors I can ask for advice and I can learn from both in the field.” Why give an endowed ARCS scholar award? “The scholars we previously supported inspired us to fund Portland Chapter’s first endowed scholar award. Their commitments to life-changing work made us want to leave a lifetime legacy to help generations of brilliant young scientists build a brighter future. Our scholars have brought much more to us than we have given them,” said Caron Ogg.
