Kettering Prize

The Charles F. Kettering Prize was given for the most outstanding recent contribution to the diagnosis or treatment of cancer. It is no longer awarded.

This award was named in honor of Charles F. Kettering, inventor, former General Motors Director, and pioneer of the General Motors Research Laboratories. 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, originally each worth $250,000, were consolidated into the single General Motors Cancer Research Award with a combined value of $250,000.

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

Since 2006 no more prizes have been awarded.
