Since 1901, the Nobel Prizes have been presented to Nobel Prize laureates at ceremonies on Dec. 10, the anniversary of Alfred Nobel’s death. As stipulated in his will, the Nobel Prizes in Physics, Chemistry, Physiology or Medicine and Literature are awarded in Stockholm, Sweden, while the Nobel Peace Prize is awarded in Oslo, Norway. 

The American Cancer Society is honored to have given funding to 53 investigators who went on to win the Nobel Prize, considered the highest accolade any scientist can receive.
