CARY, N.C. (AP) -- Nick Valvano is stepping down after 13
years as CEO of the V Foundation for Cancer Research, and the group has
selected Susan Braun as his replacement.
The organization said Friday that Valvano - the brother of
late N.C. State coach and foundation namesake Jim Valvano - will remain on the
board of directors and take part in special projects.
The V Foundation says it has awarded more than $120 million
for cancer research grants, including $14.4 million last year. It was founded
in 1993 by ESPN and Jim Valvano before he died of cancer later that year.
Braun is a former president and CEO of the Susan G. Komen
Breast Cancer Foundation and was the executive director at Commonweal in
California, a nonprofit health and environmental research institute.
