The Salgi Esophageal Cancer Research Foundation is a nationally recognized nonprofit based out of Rhode Island. Founded in 2011, our mission is to raise awareness, encourage early detection and to fund research of esophageal cancer.

In 2015, The Salgi Esophageal Cancer Research Foundation awarded esophageal cancer research funding for the first time. This research was accepted by the American Gastroenterological Association (AGA) Institute Council and an abstract was presented as a poster presentation during Digestive Disease Week (DDW) 2017.

Since The Salgi Esophageal Cancer Research Foundation first funded research in 2015, over 20 investigators have reached out requesting funding for their studies dedicated to esophageal cancer. We are working diligently in hopes of opening the funding program again soon.
