When we sent out the call for applications for GMAN’s Susie Novis Durie Grant, we knew that we would be reviewing proposals for many innovative and important projects focused on improving the lives of myeloma patients. We were thrilled by the overabundance of ideas that are so worthy of funding, and we wish we could have supported many more of your initiatives! I am happy to share with you summaries of the projects that were selected after much consideration.
