中文摘要
作为一名癌症生存者和 Pelotonia 的 CEO，我亲眼见证了草根社区参与如何创造持续的研究资金，以前所未有、既能变革研究又能变革结局的方式放大机构能力。18年来，Pelotonia 的点对点社区筹款模式已为 The Ohio State Comprehensive Cancer Center 的癌症研究筹集了超过3.4亿美元。这些资金支持了世界一流科学家及其实验室的招募，资助了一项年度研究奖学金项目，启动了包括 Drug Development Institute 和 Pelotonia Institute for Immuno-Oncology 在内的多个机构项目，以及许多其他关键研究举措。本案例研究探讨了 Pelotonia 的历史与影响，以及草根参与如何形成一场支持癌症研究的社会运动。它还论证了这一模式若加以扩展和复制，具有变革全世界如何资助并加速那些将拯救生命的科学的潜力。

As a cancer survivor and CEO of Pelotonia, I've witnessedfirsthand how grassroots community engagement creates sustained researchfunding to amplify institutional capacity in ways that transform both researchand outcomes. Over 18 years, Pelotonia's peer-to-peer community fundraisingmodel has raised more than $340 million directed to cancer research at The OhioState Comprehensive Cancer Center. This funding has supported the recruitmentof world-class scientists and their labs, underwritten an annual researchfellowship program, launched institutional programs including the DrugDevelopment Institute and the Pelotonia Institute for Immuno-Oncology, and manymore key research initiatives. This case study explores the history and impactof Pelotonia and how grassroots engagement creates a social movement in supportof cancer research. It also makes the case that this model, scaled andreplicated, holds the potential to transform how the world funds andaccelerates the science that will save lives.
