Reference excerpt

The Leopold Griffuel Prize (Prix Leopold Griffuel) for translational and clinical research is sponsored by the French ARC Foundation for Cancer Research (French Wikipedia). It is one of the most significant and prestigious international awards dedicated to cancer research in Europe. The prize is designed to reward the accomplishments of and encourage further research among the world's leading cancer researchers. Past American recipients of the Griffuel Prize include Samuel Broder, former director of the National Cancer Institute; Leland Hartwell, 2001 Nobel Prize recipient; C. Everett Koop, former U.S. Surgeon General, and Anita Roberts, pioneer in research on TGF-beta. The award comprises two prizes, each valued at €200,000. The recipient(s) receive €50,000 directly, while the remaining €150,000 is allocated to their host institution to support related scientific work, which must be completed within five years of the award.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Leopold Griffuel Prize

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Leopold Griffuel Prize claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In science, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Leopold Griffuel Prize before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Leopold Griffuel Prize ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Leopold Griffuel Prize

In research: Leopold Griffuel Prize appears in science research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Leopold Griffuel Prize in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Leopold Griffuel Prize is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics Awards established in 1970, Cancer research awards, French science and technology awards, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Leopold Griffuel Prize outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
