Description
The AGA Research Foundation provides this award to support early-career investigators researching the pathogenesis, prevention, diagnosis or treatment of digestive cancer. It supplements an existing federal or non-federal career development award and is intended to help the investigator transition to an independent research career. Basic, translational and clinical research are eligible.
The award supports direct research activities for a new endeavor or an ongoing project. Proposed work must extend or depart from the aims of the existing career development award, rather than duplicate research already funded through it. Selection considers scientific significance, innovation, the research approach and environment, institutional commitment, relevance to AGA’s mission and the investigator’s potential for independence. Funding is provided by an anonymous donor to the AGA Research Foundation Endowment Fund.
