Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. Prize

The Alfred P. Sloan, Jr. Prize was a $250,000 award given by the General Motors Cancer Research Foundation for outstanding oncological research.

Of the winners of the prize 15 out of 37 have gone on to win either a Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine, or a Nobel Prize in Chemistry.

It was awarded from 1979 to 2005, however, due to budget constraints the Alfred P. Sloan Jr. prize, the Charles K. Kettering prize, and the Charles S. Mott Prize were consolidated into the single General Motors Cancer Research Award which also had a value of $250,000.

In 2006, the winner of the General Motors Cancer Research Award was Napoleone Ferrara.

After 2006 no more prizes were awarded.
